unfortunately this is what happens after using scare tactics to stop teens from having sex. they (the media) state all of this different types of stds and cancers that you can get from having unprotected sex... one of the things that ties cervical cancer into this is, is that some cervical cancers are a result of a virus called hpv. which you can get from your sexual partner. most people dont know much about cervical cancer so they just naturally assume everything is true on television and then they assume that you got cervical cancer because you were promiscuous, which is bogus. people are just ignorant sometimes, and so are some advertisments. we all need to remember that cervical cancer can also be hereditary....
just put your chin up hun. dont worry about it, people arent always the brightest... good luck with your treatment...

It is unfortunate that attitudes towards those who have contracted a disease that is attributable to an avoidable behavior or is routinely screened for tend to be less sympathetic than we'd like. A prime example is lung cancer I suppose because the majority of cases are directly attributed to the victims smoking behavior. I can best describe it as a "she got what she deserved" attitude, because the patient engaged in known risky behavior (smoking).
If people are treating you as if you didn't have a serious disease, it may also be because they don't realize the potential seriousness of it.
Give some thought to how you would like to be treated by your friends , family and co-workers. If you want to talk about your disease, you may need to be the one who initiates the discussions. Do you want to talk about your fears? Then by all means do so with a trusted friend or confidant. If none is available, then seek a professional counselor such as a minister, rabbi, counselor, etc.

It is unfortunate that people treat someone with cancer poorly.Most cervical cancers are now known to be caused by the HPV virus,which IS an STD,but this does NOT necessarily mean that you are "loose" . Unfortunately it seems like a stigma now.

it has nothing to do with your amount of partners! that's a myth. what it can be related to is HPV, which is the virus known as genital warts. in some women, HPV can cause cervical cancer. however, having cervical cancer does NOT mean you have genital warts. it is just one cause.

I hope you feel better soon. I point blank asked my OB-GYN is the only way to get cervical cancer is if you get HPV first and she said yes. But only if the HPV goes untreated.

because it's strongly related to infection with human papilloma virus which is an STD

because it is related to having many sexual partners.
and many people know this now.
multiple partners causes the cancerous tendencies in young women.
