Yes, cervical cancer is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). We now know that cervical cancers are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), although risk factors like smoking, weakened immune system, age over 40, and lack of regular pap tests do contribute.
HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause genital warts and cervical cancer. Men and women can carry it. HPV sometimes plays a role in other cancers as well, including cancers of the vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and throat.
