Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection affects women mainly causing cervical cancer (Levesque, 2014). Cancer is a chronic illness that is deadly, quite expensive to treat and manage. Most women who suffer from cervical cancer end up having their uterus or part of the cervix removed (Chaturvedi, et al. 2011). The implication is that they may never conceive from that point forward. The danger of this infection thus underscores the significance of the topic on health care of women.
Research indicates that up to 90 percent of the disease would just go away without manifesting symptoms (Ma, et al. 2014).In this regard, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection can be passed from one person to another even without knowing it and at a very high rate causing more harm.
There is significant challenge in respect of early treatment of this disease for one simple reason. cancer caused by this virus does not show symptoms until at a later stage that makes it even more deadly.
