Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Papilloma viruses are sexually transmitted viruses, and some strains may cause cervical cancer. Gardasil and Cervarix are vaccines that are indicated for young women.

Therefore, she will not get cervical cancer caused by these papilloma virus strains. However, she may still get cervical cancer that originates from another source.
