The odds of HPV awareness among hepatitis B vaccinated students were 2.10 times that among unvaccinated students (AOR = 2.10 95% CI = 1.21, 3.64). The odds of awareness of HPV were greater among medical students compared to other colleges and among students belonging to older age groups compared to the younger age group (18–20). Results: Only 60% of students were aware of HPV, with awareness higher among females, although their knowledge scores were comparable to males. Associations of HPV awareness and knowledge with sociodemographic characteristics were assessed using logistic regression analysis and linear regression analysis, respectively. Methods: A cross-sectional survey study was conducted from November to December 2022 and included 403 health college students. Aims: (1) Assessing HPV awareness and knowledge among health college students at King Saud University, (2) comparing these outcomes across sociodemographic characteristics.
