hpv is more dangerous for women because it is a virus that increases the risks of cervical cancer in women. It is also dangerous because it can be present in women for long periods of time without symptoms. An annual pap test can be used to check for hpv. (Human Papoloma Virus)

It can lead to about 90% of all cervical cancers. Eliminate HPV infection and millions of women won't die.
