Our Mission
Our mission is to create a collaborative community dedicated to educating clinicians and the public about the HPV virus, its disease consequences, prevention and management. Embracing participants from all walks of life and backgrounds, we are energized by the goal of “All-of-Us” working together to launch our “power-full” cancer initiative.

Us vs HPV is a one-week series of webinars, social media campaigns, local events and more to promote awareness about HPV and HPV-related diseases. Organized by the American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA) and Global Initiative Against HPV and Cervical Cancer (GIAHC), with support from numerous medical associations and institutions nationally and internationally. See what happened during HPV Week 2019 , HPV Week 2020, HPV Week 2021, HPV Week 2022, HPV Week 2023, HPV Week 2024,and HPV Week 2025.

“This year’s theme is: Building Community Around HPV Prevention and Related Disease Management reflects our commitment to advancing health equity, leveraging cutting-edge technology, and fostering global collaboration,” says Dr. Bisi Alli, Co-Chair of HPV Prevention Week. “We invite expert voices from all backgrounds to collaborate with us in amplifying awareness, empowering communities, and accelerating lasting impact.

A Preventable Health Crisis
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer and contributes to other forms of cancer that affect millions globally. The good news? These cancers are preventable with vaccination, early detection, and education. HPV Prevention Week brings global experts together to spotlight the latest research and strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. “This is a crucial moment in the fight to eliminate the first cancer – cervical cancer,” says Dr. Shobha Krishnan, Co-Chair of HPV Prevention Week. “We have an opportunity to bridge gaps in health equity and ensure that every individual, regardless of their background, has access to this life-saving intervention.”

This year, AMWA is also calling on all members to reach out to their local official and encourage them to issue a proclamation in support of HPV Prevention Week.
