Cervical cancer is not a hereditary and infectious disease, mainly caused by human papillomavirus infection (HPV). In general, when a person is subject to HPV infection, cervical intraepithelial squamous cell will change into cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1), two(CIN2) and three (CIN3), and finally become cervical cancer. HPV viruses are divided into "high-risk" and "low-risk". HPV infection is extremely common that women and men have the opportunity to have HPV infection. Risk has already existed at the very beginning when sexual contact first occurs. HPV is not only sexually transmitted; genital skin contact alone can already infect HPV.

Men are not usually infected by the HPV virus and cervical cancer, but the high-risk HPV virus may cause anal cancer, while low-risk types of HPV virus 6 and 11 also have a chance to cause genital warts, commonly known as cauliflower. According to the U.S. CDC and large-scale studies, they have shown that injection of the cervical cancer vaccine in addition to effectively preventing cancer caused by the HPV virus, also can prevent genital warts. 

Having multiple sexual partners will increase the risk of HPV infection

Having multiple sexual partners, the risk of getting cancer due to high-risk HPV infection and genital warts due to low-risk HPV infection would increase accordingly. The antibody levels would be higher when vaccination is taken earlier. It is preferable that no sexual activity happens before vaccination. The vaccine does not affect the development of menstruation and has been tested through large-scale clinical trials.

Women who have been injected HPV vaccine can also go for Pap smears test The registered age of HPV vaccination in Hong Kong has 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 prevent further infection in the future. The women who have been affected by HPV infection 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 or having sex using a condom every time, a person still has a chance infected with the HPV virus. Pap smear test can test their cervix whether appeared diseased cells, making them unable to prevent HPV infection. In other words, women who have been injected with the HPV vaccine also need to take regular Pap smears tests to ensure that there is no HPV infection.
