Why age 17-23 is most likely to catch HPV?

The age range of 17-23 is most likely to catch HPV because it is the period when people are most sexually active and have multiple sexual partners. HPV is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is spread through skin-to-skin contact, and it is most easily transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Young adults in this age range are also less likely to use condoms or other protective measures, which increases the risk of transmission. Additionally, some HPV strains are more common in younger people, and the immune system may be less effective at clearing the infection in this age group.
