HPV Human Papilloma Virus, the Cause of Uterus Neck Cancer
Almost all of (99%) uterus neck cancer cases are caused by HPV human papilloma virus infection. The HPV human papilloma virus infection is occurred easily. About three fourth from people who have ever committed sexual intercourse, men or women, are get infected. Not different with influenza, most of HPV infection is self healed. Only a few of HPV infection become annual infection, then become a cancer.
This virus is transmitted especially through sexual intercourse, including anal sex, oral sex, and hand sex. Most of them are infected at the age of 15-30 years old, in 4 years after doing the first sexual intercourse. The person who got genital HPV infection usually doesn’t know that he or she got infected, because this infection doesn’t emerge symptoms at all, and the body immune system will soon attack this virus until death or become weak so the virus will not be active.
Until now, the infection of HPV human papilloma virus has not been able to be healed, but a good body immune system could heal 90% of them, in 2 years. The rest of them are still active, or inactive. This inactive virus still enable to be transmitted to the other people, active in certain period (if the human body immune decreases), or change the neck cancer cells becomes pre-cancer cells, that in the next years can become a cancer.

The third vaccine is injected in the arm and could protect us from four type of HPV caused cancer, namely type 6, 11, 16 and 18, for about 4 years.
It is better that vaccination is given to the pre-marital girls who have not done sexual intercourse yet. The person who has ever done sexual intercourse tent to get infected of HPV. If the infection is not virus with type of 6, 11, 16, and 18, therefore this vaccination still can be used.
Eventhough they have already done vaccination, the women who have ever done sexual intercourse activities should do pap smear examination in routine period.
