Author: Ursa A.I am a pharmacist and get this question quite a bit. Side Effects Of Cervical Cancer Vaccine So here is the scoop... It was really made to be the cervical cancer vaccine because 99% of cervical cancer is linked to HPV. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that has a lot of different strains (i.e. HPV-1, HPV-2, etc.).

Then even other STD HPV strains (there are a bunch!) have been linked to cancer of the cervix (these are called high risk strains). As I mentioned before, studies show that 99% of women with cervical cancer also have HPV. However, not everyone with high risk HPV will get cervical cancer. Most cases of HPV (all strains) are cleared naturally by the body within 2 years. Sometimes the high risk HPV will stick around longer -for these women their risk for cervical cancer goes up. However, they still may not get cervical cancer because high risk HPV plus some other things (which have not been figured out yet)...more
