4. INTRODUCTION
TEAM AWAKENING IS A PR GROUP ON THE UNF CAMPUS
SPREADING AWARENESS ABOUT HPV AND CERVICAL CANCER.
THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN BECAUSE MEN AND WOMEN
BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 24 ARE BEING AFFECTED.
Each day in the US, 30 women are diagnosed with cervical
cancer (about 11,000 women per year.)
You can get the virus through any kind of genital contact with
someone who has HPV--intercourse isn't nessary.
Many people who have HPV don't even know it, because the
virus often has no signs or symptoms. That means you can get
the virus or pass it on to your partner without knowing it.
5. RESEARCH
Cervical cancer forms in the cells cervix. Human
Papillomavirus (HPV), which is a sexually transmitted
disease plays a role in causing cervical cancer.
Risks for cervical cancer are:
Many sexual partners
Early sexual activity
A weak immune system
Cigarette smoking

6. Research
What is Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer is a cancer of the cervix.
Unlike some other cancers, cervical cancer is not
considered to be passed down through family genes.
When a woman is infected with certain types of HPV
and the virus doesn't go away on its own, abnormal
cells can develop in the lining of the cervix.
If these abnormal cells are not found early and treated,
precancers and then cervical cancer can develop.
