Yeah, a lot of people don't realise how prevalent HPV is and don't realise that they've probably been infected with it at some point in their life if they are sexually active and if they haven't had the vaccine... |
My sister had the vaccine (she is younger than I and not in any danger of the illness since she is celibate) because cervical cancer runs in the family. I haven't been checked out in about 8 years because I haven't noticed anything unusual, but I do sometimes worry since it is said to be a "silent killer". I'm the sort of stubborn woman that will probably drop dead before anyone (including myself) realizes I'm ill.
