Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is
accountable for the outbreak of a new deadly disease. It is predicted
that this new epidemic, even deadlier than AIDS, will claim many lives.
According to new research, cond-oms
cannot provide 100% protection against HPV (or H1V/A1DS), which can
spread through skin-to-skin contact with infected areas of the skin not
covered by the cond-om such as the male and female genitalia.HPV is the name for a group of viruses
that affect your skin and the moist membranes lining your body, for example, in your cervix, anus, mouth and throat.
HPV is a common and highly contagious
infec-tion, with over three quarters of se-xually active women acquiring
it at some time in their lives. HPV is se-xually transmitted, but
skin-to-skin genital contact is also a well-recognized mode of
transmission. This means that condoms cannot give full protection.
HPV is mainly transmitted through se-xual
contact and most people are infected with HPV shortly after the onset
of se-xual activity.
Cervical cancer is by far the most
common HPV-related disease. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer, which
is the leading cause of death in women, can be attributed to HPV
infe-ction.
Women are more susceptible to
contracting the virus than men. Play safe and try and get one trusted
partner or abstain from pre-marital se*x. Share after reading.
