Cervical cancer awareness month: HPV vaccines provides 100% protection if taken prior to first sexual exposure
HPV infection is the primary cause of cervical cancer in 99% of cases, and this is the only vaccine that is available for preventing cervical cancer.
HPV is a type of virus that is mainly transmitted through sexual contact. There are two kinds of HPV infections; one is a high-risk HPV, and the other is a low-risk HPV. Whenever there is a persistent high-risk HPV infection, there is a higher risk of developing cervical cancer in women. Hence, it is important to understand the importance of knowing about HPV infection and creating awareness about that as well.
It is a common infection that a woman can contract at any time in her life, but her body has natural immunity to combat the virus. So, when HPV enters a woman’s body, the body naturally fights the virus and protects it from infection. When antibodies are produced against any infection, they are not permanent; hence, the woman may be susceptible to another type of infection. Whenever we take the vaccine, the antibodies produced by the vaccine are more long-lasting, and that is how they prevent further infection as well as cervical cancer. Hence, it is commonly considered as the best preventive measure. Aside from that, using a barrier contraception such as a condom during intercourse is also advised.
