HPV control and resistance in the Middle East and north Africa
Islamic countries, and countries with more conservative sexual views based on religion in general, should implement educational projects in government-organised programmes. As we mentioned in our original Correspondence,2 the organisation of intervention policies based on awareness campaigns can be a very effective first step in the control of cervical cancer caused by HPV. However, a point that we would like to stress once more is that acceptance and implementation of these programmes, and in effect also vaccines, can be faced with difficulties because of stigmatisation that is based on religious and traditional values.
