What causes cervical cancer? 

The exact cause of cervical cancer is unknown.  However, a virus is believed to be responsible for most cases of cervical cancer.  This virus is called the Human Papillomavirus or HPV.  There are at least 80 known varieties of HPV.  Only a few actually increase a woman's risk of developing cervical cancer.  HPV is spread by sexual contact with an infected partner.  Most people with HPV do not have any symptoms.
