HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is one
of the leading causes of cervical cancer and has infected an average of 50% of
the population participating in sexual activity (WebMd.Com). There are no symptoms of
HPV, with the exception of the strain that causes genital warts. Many women and
men don’t even know they have contracted the virus.
You are at risk to contract HPV
IF you:
o
Have sex at an early age
o
Have many sexual partners
o
Have a sex partner who has had multiple partners
According to the Center for
Disease Control, many people assume that HPV only impacts young women or
teenagers, but cases have been reported that HPV has impacted the older
generations as well.
Remember ladies, HPV is not just
a, “loose woman’s or nasty woman’s disease.” Even a virgin can contract the
virus from literally bumping and grinding. No penetration has to be involved.
Not only do you need to know who you are sleeping with, but who you’re bumping
and grinding with as well.
XOXO,
