Cervical cancer and HIV—two diseases, one response: Cervical cancer—an illness that can be prevented by vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV) and that is curable if detected and treated early—is developed by more than 500 000 women each year, half of whom die of the disease. If cervical cancer prevention, screening and treatment efforts are not urgently scaled up, it is projected that this number could double by 2035.
