What is Cervical Cancer? It starts from the lower part of the woman’s womb. This is caused by a sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus occurs in the cells of the cervix that causes skin or mucous membrane growths (warts)

HPV infection takes place when the virus enters the human body. The virus can be transferred primarily through the skin to skin contact, or if you have a small tear in your skin or an abrasion.
