## Summary

**The PREVENT HPV Cancers Act of 2025 would create a CDC-led public awareness campaign to promote HPV vaccination to prevent HPV-associated cancers.** It would also boost authorized funding for early detection programs and require a progress report on campaign impact. - Families and adolescents would get more evidence-based, culturally tailored messages about when to vaccinate, vaccine benefits, and safety to encourage series completion. - Communities with high HPV burden or low vaccination rates — including Black and Hispanic women, rural areas, active-duty service members, and veterans — would receive targeted outreach and materials. - Health systems, schools, and public health agencies would get resources and can compete for grants or cooperative agreements to run local outreach and share screening access information. - Public health funding would increase with a $5 million annual authorization for the campaign and the Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program raised to $300 million per year for fiscal years 2026–2030, supporting grants and outreach. *Would authorize roughly $30 million in additional federal appropriations per year for 2026–2030, increasing federal spending over that period.*
