About 6 million new people are infected with HPV each year, affecting at least 50 percent of men and women at some point in their sexual lives. A comprehensive study involving 5,528 participants found that human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical fungiwork together in relation to cervical cancer. They found that if a person has both HPV and fungi, they might have a lower chance of getting cervical cancer or the pre-cancerous changes (called lesions) compared to having just HPV alone.
