There are lots of things you can do to stay healthy.

Best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer

Cervical screening and HPV vaccination

Taking part in cervical screening and the HPV vaccination are the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer.

The HPV vaccination is offered to young people in S1 at school.

You can also lower your chance of getting cervical cancer by:

Condoms

Using condoms – but they do not cover all the skin around your genitals, so this is not full protection.

Don’t smoke as it will harm your body
