Question: What is the STD that causes cervical cancer!?
Answers:
here's something more informative about HPV!.!.!.
After decades of epidemiologic and laboratory research to identify the sexually transmitted pathogen associated with cervical cancer, most experts agree that infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer!. Over 30 different types of HPV are sexually transmitted and infect the genital area!. Eighty percent of cervical cancers contain HPV types 16, 18, 31, or 45!. Genital HPV types 6 and 11 causes genital warts and low-grade Pap smear abnormalities!. Estimated prevalence of genital HPV infection is 45 million, and estimated incidence is 5,000,000 new cases yearly!. At least 50% of sexually active men and women will acquire genital HPV infection!. Most infected persons are totally unaware they are infected and potentially infectious to a sex partner!. The causal association between persistent genital HPV infection and cervical cancer is similar to that between cigarette smoking and lung cancer!. Genital HPV infections are not curable, and little information is available on effectiveness of prevention strategies including abstinence, male and female condoms, and microbicides!. Vaccine development is currently underway and human trials are in progress!. New tests for HPV may allow for improved detection of cervical cancer and streamlining of costs associated with evaluation of abnormal Pap smears when used as an adjunct to Pap smear for triage of women with abnormal Pap smears, or for primary screening in certain populations of women!. Before we can formulate effective public health strategies to prevent genital HPV infection and cervical cancer, we must fill critical gaps in our knowledge about feasibility of HPV testing for cervical cancer screening, appropriate counseling messages for infected persons, prevention of genital HPV infection, burden of infection, trends in prevalence of HPV and sequelae, vaccine marketing strategies, and awareness of HPV among health care providers and the general public!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's called HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) Its not actually an STD even though it IS spread through sex!. I have it & I have had it for over 10 years now! It is SO common & I think most females in the U!.S are carrying it, But if you have it, the chances of you getting cervical cancer are SLIM & less than 1% of it ever turns into cancer! HPV usually resolves itself, I was told by my DR that it is considered 'PRE-cancer cells' & if left untreated it could POSSIBLY end up cancer YEARS & YEARS down the road, but rarely, And that is if it doesnt resolve itself AND if you go untreated AND if you are the 1 in a million women who get cancer from it!! Its NOT an STD but it IS contracted & spread through sex, Women carry it & then men have sex with those women carrying it & then those men now carry it (but do not get the disease though, they just pass it around) have sex with other women & then those women are now infected with it! Wouldnt it be SO nice if everyone waited for marraige to have sex & there werent BILLIONS of sex related diseases spreading all around!?!?!?!? There is now a vaccine for it called 'Gardasil' You know, the RX from those commercials with all the young girls saying "ONE LESS, I WANNA BE!.!.!.!.!.ONE LESS!!" lol!.!.!.!.!.!.If you DO have it, I wouldnt freak out because it is SO harmless but you should get into your DR as soon as you can & start on a treatment, because you never know if you are that 1 in a million women who DO get cancer from it!! I hope I have helped you with your question, Good Luck! :) -MistiWww@Answer-Health@Com
Several!.!.!.all of them can, I believe!. HPV (which is NOT an STD, but can be caused by some STDs) might be the one you're thinking of!. It's advertised to get the guardasil shot to prevent it!. Of course, as I said, most STDs can cause this virus and lead to cervical cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
