What Keeps Me Healthy

How to protect yourself and lower your chance of getting cervical cancer.

Best Ways to Protect Yourself from Cervical Cancer

Cervical Screening & HPV Vaccination

Cervical screening and the HPV vaccination are the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer.

Lowering Your Chances of Getting Cervical Cancer

Condoms

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

Not Smoking

Smoking can weaken your immune system and the chemicals in cigarettes can also cause cervical cancer.

Fruit & Veg

Eating a balanced diet is an excellent way to help support your immune system.
