Cervical Health Awareness Month

January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, and is a chance to raise awareness about how women can protect themselves from human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer. HPV, the most common sexually transmitted disease, is a major cause of cervical cancer, but it can be prevented with the HPV vaccine. Regular screening and followup is a good way to prevent cervical cancer. The National Cervical Cancer Coalition, in conjunction with the U.S. Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, offers this toolkit to promote cervical health: http://1.usa.gov/19QIx5r
