Using condoms during sex offers some protection
against HPV, but it can't always prevent infection, because the virus is also
spread through skin-to-skin contact of the wider genital area.
Cervical cancer occurs when abnormal
cells on the cervix grow out of control. The cervix is the lower part
of the uterus that opens into the vagina.
Almost all cases of cervical cancer are caused by
the human papilloma virus (HPV) is a very common virus that can be passed on
through any type of sexual contact with a man or a woman who has it.
There are more than 100 different types of HPV, many
of which are harmless. However, some types of HPV can cause abnormal changes to
the cells of the cervix, which can eventually lead to cervical cancer.
Two strains of the HPV virus (HPV 16 and HPV
18) are known to be responsible for 70% of all cases of cervical
cancer. These types of HPV infection don't have any symptoms, so many
women won't realize they have the infection.
However, it's important to be aware that these
infections are relatively common and most women who have them don't
develop cervical cancer.
