Objective: to analyse university students' knowledge of HPV. Method: Systematic review of 15 scientific articles. Results: and Conclusion: University students represent a priority population for educational and preventive interventions related to Human Papillomavirus (HPV), due to their profile as a young and sexually active group, with the capacity to influence the adoption of preventive measures. The results show insufficient knowledge about HPV and its relationship with serious pathologies, as well as heterogeneous attitudes towards vaccination, modulated by cultural, social and economic factors.
