Preferred term

human papillomavirus  

Definition

  • The human papillomavirus (HPV) has proven to be fertile territory for health communication scholars who seek to explore areas of health at the intersection of public policy, identity, gender, sexuality, and disparities of care. These concepts emerge for further exploration by expanding research in the relationships between global and national public health organizations (i.e., the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health, American Cancer Society, National Cancer Institute) and for-profit pharmaceutical companies, insurance agencies, and regulatory and legislative bodies (i.e., Food and Drug Administration, state and local government agencies).
