Overview

Mission

The mission of the International Papillomavirus Society is to facilitate research on human and animal papillomaviruses and their associated diseases and to promote the translation of research results into new clinical applications and public health policies.

What it reported doing in 2025

IPVS HPV Awareness Campaign: The International HPV Awareness Campaign is a key initiative of the IPVS which aims to increase public awareness of the virus as part of IPVS mission to improve understanding of HPV and the importance of prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment of papillomavirus-related diseases. The campaign works from a belief that increasing public awareness and reducing the stigma of HPV is fundamental to the global effort to eliminate HPV and thereby to reduce the global cancer burden. By opening a conversation and providing people with the knowledge they need, the campaign aims to empower individuals and society to take effective action to reduce the harm caused by HPV. Driven by passionate IPVS members and launched in 2018, International HPV Awareness Day on March 4th has grown to become part of the annual calendar for many organizations that are committed to addressing HPV-related cancer around the world. These organizations include over 150 civil society organizations in 54 countries that have signed up as operational campaign partners and who use our evidence-based, translated and peer-reviewed resources to build awareness of HPV within their communities. Campaign partners and members have access to the HPV Hub, an online platform to support communication, knowledge sharing and collaboration between campaign partners and with an interest in public awareness and advocacy campaigning. More information about the IHAD Campaign can be found on AskAboutHPV.org.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
