There is consensus that persistent high-risk HPV infection is necessary to cause cervical cancer. Vaccination is the best way to prevent HPV infection. Currently, bivalent, quadrivalent, and nonavalent vaccines are available. In this narrative review, information about different diseases caused by human papillomaviruses, role of HPV vaccines in prevention, and their role in the therapy of recalcitrant warts has been discussed. A systematic search of various databases and search engines such as Medline, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Science Direct was done. HPV vaccines play a preventive role against the HPV types present in the vaccine. Vaccinating girls and boys before sexual debut is anticipated to maximize disease control. The role of vaccines in older women is under evaluation.

Like any phobia, this condition presents with an intense and irrational fear of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) often following a high-risk sexual encounter. Accurate prevalence data were lacking globally. This condition is very common in men, and there are various sociocultural factors contributing to the hesitation to report to a sexual health clinic by women especially in an Indian context. Venereophobia can present with physical and/or psychological symptoms where the patients seek repeated consultations even after repeated reassurances that they were cured of STIs. This is due to the fear that stems from previous high-risk encounters, misinformation, and social stigma. Diagnosing this condition requires expertise from both dermatologists and psychiatrists. In addition to treating the physical symptoms, the patients require reassurance and psychoeducation, extensive laboratory work-up to prove them that they have no STIs, and, in extreme cases, might require cognitive behavioral therapy and/or antipsychotic medications.
