Not all sexually transmitted infections are equal — and some, if left undetected and untreated, carry a genuine cancer risk that most women are never clearly warned about.
HPV is the best-known example, driving nearly all cases of cervical cancer, but it is not the only STI with malignant potential.
Dr. Sylvia gives you the clear, evidence-based breakdown of the STIs with the most serious long-term health consequences, how screening catches them before they cause permanent damage, and what your smear test and STI screen are actually protecting you from. Informed women survive. Get informed.
