Answer preview
There are various factors that need to be considered when designing and implementing HPV prevention policies. These factors include creating awareness, sexual behavior, and surveillance. Many people get infected with HPV because they do not know the existence of this disease (Drolet et al., 2019). Community programs and advertising channels like Television and radio should be used to create awareness.
