Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequently occurring cancer among women worldwide
with 90 % of the new cases and deaths occurring in low and middle income countries
[
[1]
]. In the 1970 s, cervical cancer accounted for 4 % of all deaths from cancer in women
in England and Wales each year [
[2]
]. Despite its prevalence there was limited understanding of the cause[
[2]
]. Sexual intercourse was established to be a major risk factor by Gagnon and Towne
[

]. Their studies investigating the medical records of nuns demonstrated how rare cervical
cancer was in women assumed to never have had sexual intercourse [
