Fact: The cervix is a part of the female reproductive system, acting as a gateway between the uterus and the vagina. It allows sperm to enter the uterus, menstrual flow to exit and supports childbirth.
Fact: Up to 99 per cent of cervical cancers are caused by a common virus called Human Papillomavirus (HPV). An estimated 75 per cent of sexually active, unvaccinated people will get HPV in their lifetime. Condoms do not guarantee protection against HPV. Many people have no symptoms, making prevention and screening essential.
