ποΈ *January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month*
ππ Cervical cancer is largely preventable β yet it still affects 660,000 women and causes 350,000 deaths every year worldwide. Most of these deaths happen in low- and middle-income countries due to limited access to vaccines, screening and treatment.
ππ©Ί The cause? HPV, a very common virus. The good news: HPV vaccination and regular screening can stop cervical cancer before it starts.
π¨ Women living with HIV are 6 times more likely to develop cervical cancer β making early care even more critical.
*What you can do:*
π Vaccinate girls aged 9β14 π©Ί Get screened regularly (even if vaccinated!) π Avoid smoking π£ Share this message
