No, but it does increase a White woman's risk of developing cervical cancer.
Why? Because interracial sex between a heterosexual White person and Black person presents a substantially elevated risk to the White person for contracting one or more STDs. In women, STDs are associated with the development of cervical cancer.
It is a proven fact that a White woman who has sex with a Black man has a substantially higher risk of contracting HIV or another STD, and ultimately developing cervical cancer.
Here are the facts...
According to the CDC:

Cervical Cancer Risk Factors
In addition to HPV, other things can increase your risk of cervical cancer. They include:
• Smoking.
• Having HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) or another condition that makes it hard for your body to fight off health problems.
• Using birth control pills for a long time (five or more years).
• Having given birth to three or more children.

Now, who has STDs? Let's look...
cdc.gov
excerpt:
African Americans/blacks represented:
– 13% of the U.S. population in 2007
– 51% of all HIV/AIDS cases diagnosed in 2007
– 70% of the total number of reported cases of gonorrhea in 2007
HIV/AIDS
Overall, the HIV prevalence rate for blacks (1,715 per 100,000 population) was almost eight times as high as that of whites (224 per 100,000). Black men bear the greatest burden of HIV infection; the prevalence rate for black men (2,388 per 100,000) was six times as high as the rate for white men (395 per 100,000). Black women are also severely affected. The prevalence rate for black women (1,122 per 100,000) was 18 times the rate for white women (63 per 100,000).
In 2007, the rate of newly diagnosed AIDS cases among blacks was 43.7 per 100,000. The mortality rate among blacks with AIDS was 51% (7,124 deaths total) of the deaths in 2007.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD)
Gonorrhea
In 2007, approximately 70% of the total number of reported U.S. cases of gonorrhea occurred among blacks. In 2007, the prevalence rate of gonorrhea among blacks was 662.9 cases per 100,000 population. This rate is 19 times higher than the 2007 rate among whites (34.7 cases per 100,000 population).
Chlamydia
In 2007, approximately 48% of all chlamydia U.S. cases occurred among blacks. In that same year, the prevalence rate of chlamydia among blacks was almost nine times higher than that of whites (1,398.7 and 162.3 cases per 100,000, respectively).
Syphilis
The rate among blacks also was 7 times the rate in whites, which is substantially lower than the disparity observed in 1999, when the prevalence rate among blacks was 29 times greater than that among whites. In 2007, increases were observed among both black men (23.2 cases per 100,000 population, up from 18.1 in 2006) and black women (5.6 cases per 100,000 population, up from 4.9 in 2006). |
