Welcome to Celebrate Life Foundation
Dedicated to the prevention of HPV and Cervical Cancer
Human Papiloma Virus (HPV) are a group of more than 100 viruses. Over 40 types can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact or sexual intercourse. They are called papilomaviruses because certain types may cause warts, or papilomas, which are benign (non cancerous) tumors. Human papilomaviruses (HPV) is the cause of Cervical Cancer. HPV is passed from one person to another during skin-to skin contact. HPV can be spread during sex. Although low risk types are less of a concern, one must keep in mind that low-risk types of HPV cause genital warts and can lead to abnormal Pap results. The high- risk types are of greatest concern and associated with different types of cancers. Cervical Cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in women, worldwide, resulting in nearly a half-million diagnosis and 240,000 deaths each year. There are 4.7 million abnormal Pap results in the US yearly. At least 3 million of the results are caused by some type of HPV.
