As a result of this project,  
many women were able to receive treatment much earlier.
The early detection of the HPV virus
helped them to get the treatment immediately 
and it completely changed the trajectory of the disease.
So instead of harsh surgeries,
they are able to receive straightforward treatment to prevent cancer.
There is a huge
benefit of educating women about cervical cancer
and educating them to screen and get vaccinated.
I joined the Project Teal activity
because I wanted to learn about the prevention of cervical cancer.
After the seminar, I understood more about cervical cancer.
I learned that HPV 16 and 18 are very serious HPV viruses
and can increase the risk of having cervical cancer.
Co-testing will help me know the risk of developing cervical cancer.
