13.01.2022 Did you know? Not all types of #HPV are harmful. While there are over 150 different types of HPV, only some are high-risk for cancer. HPV 16 and HPV 18 are the two highest risk types, responsible for close to 70% of cervical cancers. Routine screening, to stop disease before cancer develops, is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your health. If you are due for a routine CST (Pap smear) or unsure when your last smear was taken please see or speak to your General Practitioner.

Prof Jason Abbott is the Medical Director at Endometriosis Australia.
