Nearly 3 women die of cervical cancer every day.1

Almost all cases are caused by a common virus.2

You could catch the virus, called HPV as soon as you start having intimate relationships

The virus is usually cleared naturally but sometimes it persists and could lead to cervical cancer.3

A healthy lifestyle, cervical screening and vaccination are the best ways to reduce your risk of cervical cancer.4-6

For more information speak to your local GP/nurse
