HPV and cervical cancer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection.1<\/sup> Anyone who is sexually active can get HPV<\/strong>, which is the primary cause of cervical cancer.<\/em>1<\/sup><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n In fact, about 85%<\/strong> of people will be infected with HPV at some point in their lifetime.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n HPV can spread through vaginal or anal sex, as well as intimate skin-to-skin contact with an infected person.1<\/sup> Even if an HPV-infected person has no symptoms, they can still pass the virus to their partner.1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n For most people, HPV clears on its own.<\/strong> But for those who don’t clear the virus, it can cause certain cancers and diseases.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

How can I protect against cervical cancer? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n The HPV vaccines have been proven to be effective<\/strong> to help protect against cervical cancer.1,3<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n HPV vaccination is recommended for people aged 9 years or older, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or relationship status. Even if you have already been exposed to HPV, the vaccine can still help protect against the cancer-causing HPV types you may not have.1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n In addition to vaccination, it is crucial to undergo regular screening tests to detect any changes in the cervix early, before they develop into cancer.4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n There are 2 tests you can take<\/strong>4<\/sup>:
\u2022 Pap test<\/strong> looks for abnormal cell changes on the cervix
\u2022 HPV test<\/strong> looks for the virus that can cause these cell changes<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n For most people, HPV clears on its own.<\/strong> But for those who don’t clear the virus, it can cause certain cancers and diseases.<\/p>\n\n <\/article>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
