Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between June–August 2022 with 273 women using a structured questionnaire and the Carolina HPV Attitudes Scale. Results HPV vaccine awareness was 53.5%, while only 14.2% had been vaccinated; education level, marital status, and age were significantly associated with awareness and screening behaviors. Discussion Low vaccination uptake despite moderate awareness highlights systemic gaps and underscores the need for policy interventions and improved provider communication.
