(1) : Hungarys's estimated cervical cancer mortality was 6.9/100,000 in 2012, above the average of the EU27 countries (3.7/100,000) in the same year. Since 2014, the bivalent HPV vaccine has been offered to schoolgirls aged 12-13. (2) : We conducted a cross-sectional study among 1022 high school seniors (492 girls, 530 boys) in 19 randomly selected schools in Budapest. Our anonymous questionnaire contained 54 items: basic socio-demographic data, knowledge about HPV infection/cervical cancer and HPV vaccination. (3) : 54.9% knew that HPV caused cervical cancer, and 52.1% identified HPV as an STD. Knowledge of risk factors such as promiscuity (46.9%) and early sexual activity (15.6%) was low, but higher than that of further HPV-induced diseases: genital warts (in females 9.9%, in males 9%), anal cancer (in females 2.2%, in males 1.9%), penile cancer (9.4%), and vulvar cancer (7.8%). A percentage of 14.6% feared getting infected, and 35.7% supported compulsory HPV vaccination. A percentage of 51.2% would have their future children vaccinated-significantly more girls than boys. (4) : Our results support the findings of previous studies about young adults' HPV-related knowledge, which was poor, especially regarding pathologies in men. Despite the low level of awareness, the students' attitude was mostly positive when asked about vaccinating their future children.
(1)：2012年匈牙利宫颈癌估计死亡率为6.9/10万，高于同年欧盟27国的平均水平（3.7/10万）。自2014年起，二价人乳头瘤病毒疫苗已提供给12至13岁的女学生。(2)：我们在布达佩斯随机选取的19所学校的1022名高中毕业生（492名女生，530名男生）中开展了一项横断面研究。我们的匿名问卷包含54个项目：基本社会人口统计学数据、关于人乳头瘤病毒感染/宫颈癌和人乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种的知识。(3)：54.9%的人知道人乳头瘤病毒会导致宫颈癌，52.1%的人将人乳头瘤病毒认定为性传播疾病。对滥交（46.9%）和过早性行为（15.6%）等风险因素的知晓率较低，但高于对其他由人乳头瘤病毒引起的疾病的知晓率：尖锐湿疣（女性9.9%，男性9%）、肛门癌（女性2.2%，男性1.9%）、阴茎癌（9.4%）和外阴癌（7.8%）。14.6%的人担心被感染，35.7%的人支持强制性人乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种。51.2%的人会让他们未来的孩子接种疫苗——女生的比例显著高于男生。(4)：我们的结果支持了先前关于年轻人人乳头瘤病毒相关知识的研究结果，该知识较为匮乏，尤其是关于男性病理情况的知识。尽管知晓率较低，但当被问及是否会让他们未来的孩子接种疫苗时，学生们的态度大多是积极的。
