                    [Summary] => 

The greater the number of sexual partners a woman has and the greater the number of partners that a woman's partners have had, the greater also are the chances of her acquiring the human papilloma virus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, which can cause cervical cancer. 


Aside from having multiple sex partners, Dr. Evangeline Mercader, a gynecologist-oncologist in Cebu, said that having first sexual intercourse before age 18 also increases the risk of HPV. Immature cells seem to be more susceptible to the pre-cancerous changes that HPV can cause, she said.
