abstract = {Little is known about the level of knowledge and awareness with regard to human papillomavirus (HPV) and its associated risks among adolescents and young adults in South Africa. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess HPV infection and associated risks knowledge level among learners attending high schools in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Learners (females and males) attending five selected schools in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa participated. The intervention included knowledge pre-assessment, education through structured lecture, and post-education assessment. Self-administered questionnaires were used in both pre and post-intervention assessments. There were 2652 learners, who participated, with a median age of 18 years (IQR: 16–19). Female participants constituted 53.58{\%} (1421/2652), and male participants were 46.42{\%} (1231/2652). Before education intervention, only 4.08{\%} (107/2623) of learners ever heard about HPV and 3.31{\%} (87/2626) about HPV vaccination. Only 9.36{\%} (247/2638) and 9.34{\%} (246/2635) knew that HPV infection is sexually transmitted and associated with cervical cancer development, respectively. After education intervention, knowledge about HPV among learners increased significantly (p {\textless} 0.001). In post-education assessment, female high school learners were 66{\%} more likely to acquire HPV knowledge than males (OR, 1.66; 95{\%} CI, 1.40–1.97; p {\textless} 0.0001). Exposure to an educational intervention significantly increased learners' knowledge levels. The increasing burden of cervical cancer and other HPV-associated cancers are public health problems of concern. Therefore, the evaluation of educational interventions for increasing knowledge on HPV-associated diseases is necessary for low-resource settings with a high burden of cervical cancer.},
