HPV is a very common sexually transmitted virus that usually goes away by itself, and not fatal. Most people who have contracted this virus, in fact, never know they’ve had it. However, it can turn fatal by developing into Cervical Cancer. This is why it’s crucial to have a thorough doctor’s examination for Cervical Cancer, as well as many others.
