That's a lot of medical misunderstanding in one sentence.
It isn't sex. It's the Human Papillomavirus, known as HPV. The virus is one of the possible causes of cervical cancer. It is still possible to get cervical cancer without having HPV, thus the fact that some women who are vaccinated will get cervical cancer anyway. However, the vaccine will prevent women from getting HPV; that, they do know.
