Make your stand to fight HPV together and encourage your loved ones to go for regular cervical screening and get vaccinated against HPV.
Like any sexually transmitted disease, the human papillomavirus (HPV) carries a social stigma. When someone is diagnosed with cervical cancer, chances are people will assume the worst.
The truth is, exposure to HPV can happen with any intimate behavior that involves genital contact with someone who has HPV and intercourse isn’t necessary. Exposure can also happen even if you’ve only been with one partner.
HPV often shows no signs or symptoms, and the majority of infections clear up on their own. Some people find out they have HPV only when genital warts appear, others when they are
diagnosed with more serious problems like cancer.
That is why it is important for women to go for regular cervical screening to detect any abnormal cervical cells caused by HPV and to get broader protection through the HPV vaccination.
