HPV is short of the Human Papillomavirus, which can cause genital warts. Certain strains have also been linked to Cervical cancer in women, which is why it is considered dangerous.

The controversy surrounding vaccinating young women stems from the perception that knowing they are immune from certain strains of HPV that may lead to cervical cancer will encourage young women to be more sexually promiscuous.
