3 Selfish Habits of Husbands That Increase Their Wives’ Risk of Cervical Cancer – Stop Them Before It’s Too Late
2. Refusing Protection During Intimacy
One of the most preventable causes of cervical cancer is human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. Condoms significantly reduce the risk of HPV transmission and other STIs, yet many men refuse to use them, claiming they’re uncomfortable or reduce pleasure.
This puts their wives in danger:
HPV is directly linked to over 90% of cervical cancer cases.
Even if a man has no symptoms, he can silently pass the virus to his partner.
Condoms, when used correctly, are up to 98% effective in reducing infection risks.
👉 Prioritizing protection isn’t just about avoiding pregnancy—it’s about safeguarding a woman’s long-term health.
