Hpv-2
Human papillomavirus type 2 (HPV-2) is a virus that affects the skin and mucous membranes. It is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections and is linked to a number of serious conditions including cervical cancer, genital warts, and other forms of cancer. HPV-2 can be prevented through vaccination, and screening for cervical cancer is an important tool for early detection and successful treatment. Vaccination against HPV-2 is recommended for children and adolescents, as well as adults at risk for the virus, in order to reduce the number of HPV-2 infections, cancer cases, and other serious diseases.

Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other areas of the body. Cervical cancer is caused by a virus called human papillomavirus, or HPV. It occurs when abnormal cells on the cervix grow out of control. It starts in the cells lining the cervix.
