Cancer prevention may not feel urgent when you’re young….but the choices made today can affect health for decades.

A new Prevent Cancer Foundation survey found that Gen Z is less likely than any older generation surveyed to believe cancer can be prevented or that their risk can be reduced. That doesn’t mean young adults don’t care. It means prevention information isn’t reaching them in a way that feels relevant.

The HPV vaccine can help prevent six types of cancer. Those of us who know that have a responsibility to share it. Talk about HPV vaccination with the young people, parents and healthcare providers in your life. Protecting the next generation starts with making sure they have the facts.

Seeing the word “abnormal” on an HPV or Pap test can be frightening—but most people with abnormal cervical screening results do not have cancer.

Your next step will depend on your specific results, previous screening history, age, and other health factors. You may need repeat testing, a colposcopy, or another evaluation.

Whatever your provider recommends, don’t put it off. Follow-up can identify cell changes early, when they can often be monitored or treated before becoming cancer.

It’s okay to have questions about vaccines. Those questions deserve clear, evidence-based answers.

After reviewing decades of research from multiple countries, the World Health Organization reaffirmed in 2025 that vaccines—including those containing aluminum or thimerosal—do not cause autism.

Vaccines are carefully studied, continuously monitored, and remain one of our strongest tools for preventing serious diseases and certain cancers.

On August 3, we had the opportunity to train 48 providers and staff from Pickens County Primary Care, PC—almost their entire practice!

Led by Julia Boothe, MD, and Neil Honea, MD, the practice serves patients at its main clinic in Reform, Alabama, as well as five school-based clinics. We’re grateful to Assistant Office Manager Hannah Jacobs and the entire team for their enthusiasm and commitment to preventing HPV-related cancers.

Thank you for partnering with us to strengthen HPV vaccine recommendations and protect families across Pickens County! đź’ś

HPV doesn’t always follow a predictable timeline. An infection can be controlled by the immune system to the point that it is no longer detectable, and HPV may be detected again years later.

That’s why a positive HPV test doesn’t necessarily tell us when exposure happened—or who it came from.

Understanding how HPV behaves can help replace fear, assumptions, and stigma with facts. đź’ś

The HPV vaccine helps prevent infections from the HPV types that cause most HPV-related cancers. Talk with your healthcare provider about HPV vaccination and recommended screening.

Ge***al warts are one of the most common conditions caused by HPV, but they’re often misunderstood.

They usually appear as small, flesh-colored or pink bumps that may be flat or resemble tiny cauliflower-like clusters. While many people don’t notice any symptoms, others may experience itching, irritation, or discomfort.

A surprising fact: Ge***al warts don’t always appear right away. They can develop weeks, months, or even years after someone is infected with HPV, making it impossible to know exactly when the virus was acquired.

The good news is that the HPV vaccine helps protect against HPV types 6 and 11, which cause about 90% of ge***al warts. It also protects against HPV types that can lead to several cancers. Understanding the difference is one more way we can make informed decisions about protecting ourselves and our families. đź’ś

World Head & Neck Cancer Day is a reminder that awareness can save lives. đź’ś

Head and neck cancers can affect the mouth, throat, voice box, nose, sinuses, and salivary glands. Many HPV-related throat cancers are part of this group, making prevention and early detection more important than ever.

Know the signs:
• A sore throat that doesn’t go away
• Difficulty swallowing
• A lump in the neck
• Persistent hoarseness or voice changes
• Mouth sores that don’t heal
• Ear pain without an obvious cause

If you notice symptoms that last more than two weeks, don’t ignore them. Talk with your healthcare provider!

Health information is everywhere—but not all of it is accurate.

Taking a few extra moments to evaluate what you read can help you make informed decisions for yourself and your family. Looking for credible, evidence-based information is one of the best ways to protect your health and avoid misinformation.

When you have questions about vaccines or other health topics, your healthcare provider is one of the most trusted sources of information.

Some trusted, evidence-based resources include:
