When educating a group of teenagers about sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the school nurse also mentions that cervical cancer has been associated with which of the following viral infections?

A) Chlamydia trachomatis
B) Herpes simplex
C) Human papilloma
D) Varicella zoster


Ans: C
Feedback:
Carcinoma of the cervix is often considered a sexually transmitted disease. A preponderance of evidence suggests a causal link between human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer. Herpes simplex II and Chlamydia trachomatis cause infections that are considered sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and are unrelated to neoplastic changes of the cervix. Herpes varicella zoster is secondary chickenpox, also known as shingles, which forms along a dermatome path.
