Nuns Don’t get Cervical Cancer

or at least they shouldn’t.

“Cervical cancer: Virtually all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV, and just two HPV types, 16 and 18, are responsible for about 70% of all cases.” There is a vaccine to prevent this!

“Anyone who has ever been sexually active (that is, engaged in skin-to-skin sexual conduct, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex) can get HPV.” This is most adults, excluding the above.

“People who are not sexually active almost never develop genital HPV infections.”There is always an exception to the rule!

Ask your doctor about the HPV vaccine.  It can literally save the life of you or your child.

More on this in future posts.
