How do you get hpv and cervix cancer?

Answer 1

HPV is spread by sex (vaginal, anal, and oral) and by DIRECT skin to skin contact with an infected area.

There are over 120 different kinds of HPV; most are harmless. About 30 of them are sexually transmitted. These kinds of HPV can cause cervical cancer, genital warts and more rarely penile cancer and anal cancer.

If a women has a kind of HPV that can cause cervical cancer she is at risk for developing it. That is why it is SO important for women to get their annual pap smears done. Pap smears are the best thing a women can get to detect any abnormalities on the cervix, which can later develop into cancer.

HPV which stands for human papilloma virus is a virus that is usually spread sexually. Cervical cancer has been linked to HPV.
