English: The graph depicts a spike in the occurrence of genital HPV infection (blue line) after the initiation of sexual activity. Most HPV infections are spontaneously cleared by the immune system. The development of pre-cancerous lesions (orange line) and progression to invasive cervical cancer (red line) generally occurs after many years of persistent infection with a cancer-causing HPV type.
