HPV Vaccine
flower

  • In the UK, approximately 3 women die as a result of cervical cancer every day.
  • Cervical Cancer is not hereditary.  It is caused by a virus called the human papillomavirus or HPV.
  • The virus is transmitted through sexual intercourse and itntimate skin-to-skin contact in the genital area.
  • The virus is very common- around three quarters of women will be infected with the virus at some point in their lives.  Fortunately, the majority of HPV infections are cleared by the natural immune system.
  • Only certain types of HPV can cause cervical cancer-these are known as cancer-causing types.
  • If you have a sexual relationship, you may be at risk of becoming infected with the virus-whatever your age.
