HIV and Cervical Cancer
This infographic discusses how Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection, and two types of HPV (16 and 18) cause nearly 50% of high-grade cervical pre-cancers. HIV and cervical cancer are inextricably linked. Women living with HIV are six times more likely to develop cervical cancer, which is one of the AIDS-defining illnesses and the most common cancer among women living with HIV globally.
