Most cases of cervical cancer are caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) a highly contagious s*xually transmitted virus. There are over 100 strains of HPV but strains 16 & 18 are highly implicated as the major cause of cervical cancer.
How is Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) contracted?
HPV is mostly spread through vaginal in*******se, a**l in*******se, and oral s*x, and can infect anyone who is s*xually active. It is not spread through bodily fluid alone hence cannot be prevented completely using condom.
HPV is also spread through skin-to-skin contact with an area of the body infected with the virus thus never having s*x doesn’t guarantee not being infected.
HPV is the major cause of cervical cancer, cancer of the a**s, vulval cancer, vaginal cancer, cancer of the p***s (in men) and warts among others.
