Cervical cancer is caused by a virus.

Cervical cancer is caused by HPV infection. HPV infection is sexually transmitted, but the probability of transmission is very low. Almost all HPV infections are sexually transmitted, so be careful when choosing a sexual partner. If you want to prevent HPV infection, you can choose to vaccinate against cervical cancer. In addition, regular annual cervical cancer screening is also important to detect viral infection and cervical lesions early.
