There are over 100 types of HPV but only 13 of them are known to cause cancer. The others are harmless or cause genital warts.
You get HPV by being sexually active with someone else who has it. It is very common and over half of all women who have sex will get infected with HPV at some time in their lifetime.
Cervical cancer is cancer of the cervix – which is the entrance to the womb. 99% of all cervical cancers are caused by HPV.
