January is Cervical Health Awareness Month
The U.S. Congress designated January as Cervical Health Awareness Month. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the name of a group of viruses that infect the skin.
There are more than 100 different types of HPV. However, this cancer can almost always be prevented through regular screening and, if needed, treatment of
