ABSTRACT Objective To measure knowledge and awareness of human papillomavirus (HPV) testing in the USA, the UK and Australia. Methods Participants in the USA, UK and Australia completed an anonymous web-based survey measuring awareness and knowledge of HPV (n=2409). We report analyses on a subsample of 1473 men and women in the USA (n=617), UK (n=404) and Australia (n=452) who had heard of HPV and completed questions about HPV testing.
