Dear AHNS members,
Please take a moment to distribute information on the upcoming US vs HPV Awareness Week to your patients and colleagues. This joint initiative between the Global Initiative Against HPV and Cervical Cancer (GIAHC), American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA) and Indiana University National Center of Excellence in Women’s Health will take place next week from January 22- January 26, 2024.
During this week there will be a congressional hearing called “Preventing HPV-Related Cancers through Vaccination and Screening” on January 24, 2024 at 12 p.m. ET. You can register to watch here. This will feature Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL), Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA), and Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D. (D-WA).
The week will also include a session on Thursday, January 25th from 12-1PM EST entitled “HPV and Oropharyngeal Cancer” and will include presentations from several AHNS members. Register here for free.
These webinars are designed to reach a broad audience, including oncologists treating HPV-related cancers, primary care physicians, allied health professionals, and patients. Please join us in fighting against HPV-related cancers.
