Publisher's Synopsis
Human Papilloma Virus - HPV - is a sexually transmitted disease that is known as 'the silent killer' because its symptoms are so ambiguous most people don't know they have it. A proven precursor to both cervical and penile cancer, HPV can be deadly if left untreated. With 70 known strains of the virus in existence, HPV is widespread and - since condoms don't protect you - it infects over 1 million people per year in the US alone.
This book will raise awareness of this disease, as well as other abnormal smear tests, and provide much needed information and support for those infected, including self-examination that can be done at home.
