Getting a licensed HPV vaccine is the best step to reduce the chances of developing cervical cancer. HPV is the most common cause of cervical cancer, and the vaccine is highly effective in preventing HPV infection. Getting regular tests for cervical abnormalities (such as a Pap smear) is also important for early detection and treatment of pre-cancerous cells. The use of antibiotics effective against HBV would not reduce the risk of cervical cancer, and using a dental dam during oral sex may reduce the risk of some sexually transmitted infections but would not necessarily reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
