Did you know that over 95% of cervical cancer cases are linked to the human papillomavirus ( )? For most people, the body’s immune (germ-fighting) system clears HPV on its own, but sometimes the virus doesn’t go away and causes cell changes that may lead to .

Other risk factors include:
🔸 Weakened immune system from HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), autoimmune diseases (such as lupus), or an organ transplant
🔸 Long-term use of birth control pills, especially if you have HPV
🔸 Early s*xual activity, multiple partners, or a partner with HPV
🔸 Chlamydia infections may help HPV grow in the cervix
🔸 A family history of cervical cancer

📣 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡!

More than 13,000 women in the U.S. get cervical cancer each year—but it’s the most preventable gynecologic cancer! Let’s change the stats together.

🔹 What is cervical cancer?
It starts when abnormal cells grow in the cervix, most often due to high-risk strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). These changes can take years, making prevention and early detection super important.

🛡️ Prevention = Vaccination + Screening
✅ HPV vaccine protects against the virus that causes most cases
✅ Pap and HPV tests find problems before cancer develops
✅ Detecting it early can stop cancer before it starts—or spreads

� Know the Signs
Early cervical cancer is sneaky and may have no symptoms. Watch for:
• Unusual bleeding (after s*x, between periods, or after menopause)
• Pelvic pain or pain during s*x
• Changes in vaginal discharge
• Unexplained fatigue or weight loss
