Vanessa Mai Stunned by Medical Revelation
In a heartfelt video statement shared on Instagram, German singer Vanessa Mai opened up about her personal battle with a precancerous condition in her cervix, caused by an infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV). The 33-year-old artist is now using her story to raise awareness about the importance of HPV vaccination and regular screenings.
HPV, a widespread health risk, affects most sexually active people, with many infections going unnoticed. The virus can lead to precancerous conditions or cancer if it persists. Mai emphasizes that her precancerous condition was detected due to her decision to go for regular screenings, stressing that early detection is key to successful treatment.
Mai never thought she would be diagnosed with a precancerous condition, but she wishes she had known more about HPV earlier. She urges others not to be embarrassed to ask questions and to educate themselves about this common yet often misunderstood virus.
The singer is working with the initiative **ENTSCHIEDEN. Gegen Krebs.** (Decided. Against Cancer) to spread awareness about HPV and cancer prevention. The campaign, which will be a central feature at Lollapalooza Berlin 2025, aims to educate the public through panel talks, interviews, interactive exhibitions, and more.
Mai will engage audiences and share information on this topic at the Health Lab booth during the event. The campaign emphasizes the importance of HPV vaccination and regular screenings as key preventive measures against HPV-related cancers.
The Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) recommends the HPV vaccination for girls and boys aged 9 to 14. Mai encourages everyone to make informed decisions about their health and well-being, emphasizing that vaccination and regular screenings can make a significant difference in reducing the risk of HPV-related cancers.

Gegen Krebs.** campaign serves to raise awareness about the importance of HPV vaccination, the necessity of regular screenings, and engaging the public in informed conversations about HPV prevention as part of broader cancer prevention efforts.
