    "content": "First of all, cervical cancer is now recognised as a sexually transmitted disease. It is one of the diseases that we recognise as sexually transmitted because in the majority of the cases with cervical cancer, the conceptive organ is HPV. When we tie up the two and say that on one hand, we want to give a vaccine and on the other hand we want to do preventive measures or screening, then we are tackling the cervical cancer from two different angles and that is the appropriate way to go. As some Members have alluded said, cervical cancer is usually associated with very early sexual contact usually by the teens. Once we have this conceptive organism which is HPV at that time, then it causes fundamental changes to the cervix that normally takes many years before the actual invasive cancer is detected. During that transition period when those changes are taking place in the cervix, we can detect them through screening."
