Cervical cancer is not a hereditary andinfectious disease, mainly caused by human papillomavirus infection (HPV).Ingeneral, when a person is subject to HPV infection, the cervicalintraepithelial squamous cells will change into cervical intraepithelialneoplasia (CIN1), two(CIN2) and three (CIN3), and finally become cervicalcancer. HPV viruses are divided into "high-risk"and"low-risk". HPV infection is extremely common and women and menhave the opportunity to have HPV infection. Risk has already existed at thevery beginning when sexual contact first occurs. HPV is not only sexuallytransmitted; genital skin contact alone can already infect HPV.
Men are not usually infected by the HPV virusand cervical cancer, but the high-risk HPV virus may cause anal cancer, whilelow-risk types of HPV viruses 6 and 11 also have a chance to cause genitalwarts, commonly known as cauliflower. According to the U.S. CDC and large-scalestudies, have shown the injection of the cervical cancer vaccine in addition toeffectively preventing cancer caused by the HPV virus, also can prevent genitalwarts.
Having multiple sexual partners will increasethe risk of HPV infection
Having multiple sexual partners, the risk ofgetting cancer due to high-risk HPV infection and genital warts due to low-riskHPV infection would increase accordingly. The antibody levels would be higherwhen vaccination is taken earlier. It is preferable that no sexual activityhappens before vaccination. The vaccine does not affect development andmenstruation and has been tested through large-scale clinical trials.
Women who have been injected HPV vaccine canalso go for pap smears test The registered age of HPV vaccination in Hong Konghas increased to 9 years or above, while men’s registered age ranges from 9 to26. Although the vaccine has failed to cure an infection, it can preventfurther infection in the future. The women who have been affected by HPVinfection after vaccination can still protect themselves from HPV infection,minimizing the risk of persistent infection evolving into cervical cancer.
Even with regular partners,non-promiscuous orhaving sex using a condom every time, a person still has a chance infected withthe HPV virus. A pap smear test can test the cervix whether appeared diseasedcells, making them unable to prevent HPV infection. In other words, women whohave been injected with the HPV vaccine also need to take regular Pap smearstests to ensure that there is no HPV infection.
