          Abstract

          RESUMO El Virus del Papiloma Humano (VPH) es un padecimiento de alto impacto a nivel global: más del 80% de las personas con vida sexual activa lo adquirirá en algún momento. La prevalencia y estragos es mayor en mujeres, pues este virus puede derivar en Cáncer Cervicouterino (CaCu). Desde hace tres décadas, ante el llamado de atención de muchas feministas, organismos de salud internacionales y gobiernos de muchos países han incorporado la perspectiva de género en la atención de estos y otros padecimientos de la salud sexual donde se ha destacado la noción de vulnerabilidad. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, desde una perspectiva feminista, cuáles son los usos conceptuales que se hacen de la dupla género-vulnerabilidad en algunos documentos de políticas públicas para la atención del VPH y el CaCu de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, la Organización Panamericana de la Salud y la Secretaría de Salud mexicana. A través de un análisis textual de estos documentos, es señalado que el uso conceptual de la vulnerabilidad a la que están expuestas las mujeres por mandatos de género requiere ser vislumbrado desde ópticas que permita reconocer su agencia. Asimismo, se destaca la relevancia de incorporar a los varones a las políticas públicas de atención a estos padecimientos.

          Translated abstract

          ABSTRACT The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) currently represents one of the most relevant sexual health problems worldwide, since at least, 80% of the sexually active population might acquire it at any time. Prevalence and injuries are more present among women, where this virus might cause cervical cancer. From three decades ago, several international health organizations as well as countries have adopted a feminist agenda at incorporating gender perspective to pay attention to these and other women’s sexual health issues. The objective of this text is to analyze from a feminist perspective the conceptual uses of gender and vulnerability in some documents written by the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization and the Mexican Health Secretariat for HPV and cervical cancer treatment. Throughout textual analyses to health attention documents, I highlight that these uses of vulnerability that Mexican women are exposed to need perspectives that shed light on women’s agency. I also emphasize the necessity to incorporate men to these public policies.

          Human papillomavirus vaccines: WHO position paper, May 2017–Recommendations

          (2017)
          This article presents the World Health Organization's (WHO) recommendations on the use of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines excerpted from the WHO position paper on Human papillomavirus vaccines: WHO position paper, May 2017, published in the Weekly Epidemiological Record [1]. This position paper replaces the 2014 WHO position paper on HPV vaccines [2]. The position paper focuses primarily on the prevention of cervical cancer, but also considers the broader spectrum of cancers and other diseases preventable by HPV vaccination. It incorporates recent developments concerning HPV vaccines, including the licensure of a nonavalent (9-valent) vaccine and recent data on vaccine effectiveness, and provides guidance on the choice of vaccine. New recommendations are proposed regarding vaccination strategies targeting girls only or both girls and boys, and vaccination of multiple birth cohorts [3]. Footnotes to this paper provide a number of core references including references to grading tables that assess the quality of the scientific evidence, and to the evidence-to-recommendation table. In accordance with its mandate to provide guidance to Member States on health policy matters, WHO issues a series of regularly updated position papers on vaccines and combinations of vaccines against diseases that have an international public health impact. These papers are concerned primarily with the use of vaccines in large-scale immunization programmes; they summarize essential background information on diseases and vaccines, and conclude with WHO's current position on the use of vaccines in the global context. Recommendations on the use of HPV vaccines were discussed by SAGE in October 2016; evidence presented at these meetings can be accessed at: www.who.int/immunization/sage/meetings/2016/october/presentations_background_docs/en/.
