Abstract: In the Philippines, cervical cancer is the second most common disease among women ages 15 and 44. HPV vaccines are available and effectively prevent HPV infection and related diseases, however, vaccine uptake is low. With proper awareness, behavior and knowledge, these will aid disease prevention and lowering of HPV-related mortality cases. Thus, this study aims to determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) about HPV and HPV vaccine among medical students aged 18 years old and above. The research is a descriptive cross-sectional study with 151 medical students as respondents chosen through simple random sampling. The survey questionnaire was administered online with questions gauging their KAP. Responses were analyzed and treated using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). There are 151 medical students of FEU-NRMF that answered the online survey questionnaire. It can be categorized by year level where 84.1% 1st to 3rd year medical students and 15.9% 4th year medical students answered and by sex where 74.2% females and 25.8% male answered. The study revealed 94% has good knowledge, 91.4% has a positive attitude, 69.5% has favorable practices. Among the medical students, there is good knowledge which can be associated with their level of education, positive attitude which can be associated with perceiving HPV as a dangerous virus and vaccination as one of the preventive measures and favorable practices which involves their decision-making and willingness to be vaccinated with HPV vaccine and sharing information to educate their family and friends.
