Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that can be spread from men to women and is associated with the development of Cervical cancer in women. HPV is a group of related viruses, and certain high-risk types of HPV are known to be significant risk factors for cervical cancer. HPV is commonly transmitted through sexual contact, and it can infect the genital areas. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV types can lead to changes in cervical cells that may progress to cervical cancer over time. Regular screening, such as Pap smears and HPV testing, is crucial for the early detection and prevention of cervical cancer in women. HPV vaccination is also available and recommended for both males and females to help prevent HPV-related cancers.
