Prevention

Ask your health care provider about the HPV vaccine. Girls who receive this vaccine before they become sexually active reduce their chance of getting cervical cancer by 70%.

You can reduce your risk of developing cervical dysplasia by taking the following steps:

• Do not smoke. Smoking increases your risk of developing more severe dysplasia and cancer
• Get vaccinated for HPV between ages 9 and 26
• Do not have sex until you are 18 or older
• Practice safe sex, and use a condom
• Practice monogamy, which means you only have one sexual partner at a time
