January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month

🎗️The most common cause is HPV (human papillomavirus) – a carcinogenic virus in both sexes that causes cervical, vaginal, penile, or anal cancer. HPV also causes genital warts in both men and women. 🫶The good news is that HPV is the only carcinogenic virus for which effective prevention through vaccination exists. Vaccination is suitable for all age groups from 12 years old and for both sexes. Vaccination against HPV infection is provided by the Infectious Diseases Clinic at FN Nitra.
