3 Selfish Habits of Husbands That Increase Their Wives’ Risk of Cervical Cancer — Stop Them Now Before They Harm the Whole Family

Cervical cancer is often described as a “woman’s disease,” but that label hides a dangerous truth: men’s behaviors play a powerful role in women’s risk.

Globally, cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers.

Most men who carry HPV never know they have it. But that doesn’t make transmission harmless. When a woman’s immune system cannot clear the virus, long-term infection can lead to precancerous changes and, eventually, cervical cancer.

This is where husbands matter — profoundly.
