Question
one benefit of abstinence is a reduced likelihood of acquiring what type of cancer?
○ liver
○ lung
○ cervical
○ lymphoma
Abstinence (from sexual activity) is associated with a reduced risk of cervical cancer because human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection, is a major risk factor for cervical cancer. Avoiding sexual activity reduces exposure to HPV. Liver cancer is often linked to factors like hepatitis, alcohol, or cirrhosis. Lung cancer is mainly associated with smoking and environmental toxins. Lymphoma has causes like immune system issues or infections, not directly related to sexual abstinence.
