1. Link between HPV virus and Cervical Cancer
One of the biggest causes of cervical cancer is persistent or chronic infection with multiple strains of the virus that causes papilloma and HPV virus as the group most likely to cause cancer.
Hpv 16 and HPV 18 strains are the two strains most likely to cause cervical cancer, they are found in 70% of all cases of cervical cancer. Other strains such as HPV 31, 33, 45 and 58 are less likely to cause cancer and cause disease in different regions. Two strains of HPV 6 and HPV 11 do not cause cancer but are the main causes of warts in the genital area.
The risk of HPV virus infection is common in both men and women who have had sex, in people with multiple sexual relationships, having sex with multiple people. Young women under the age of 25 are the group most at risk for HPV infection. The risk of HPV virus infection decreases with age.
