This study investigates obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) residents' attitudes and practices towards human papillomavirus (HPV) prevention. OB/GYN residents nationwide received an online survey. One hundred sixty-one residents (89.4% females) participated. About 90.0% received the HPV vaccine, mostly before age 26. About 95.1% completed the series. Mean age and sex were significantly associated with vaccination status ( p < .001). Perceived occupational risk of HPV exposure was considered low in 52.2%, high in 45.3%, and absent in 2.5%. During loop electrosurgical excision procedures (LEEP), 27.92% reported always wearing an N95 mask, while 22.73% never do. Reassuringly, most OB/GYN residents are vaccinated against HPV. However, further improvement of protection against HPV (both vaccination and use of personal protective equipment) is recommended, as only 27.9% report always wearing an N95 mask during LEEP.
