This #MotivationMonday, CANSA encourages young women to get vaccinated against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).
Not only does HPV cause genital warts, but high-risk HPV is estimated to cause 70% of cervical cancers, 50% of vaginal and vulvar cancers as well as 20% of head and neck ...cancers.
About 7 in every 10 people will have HPV infection at some point in their lifetime. It is difficult to avoid as many people who contract it are not aware that they have it as they do not show any symptoms or health problems. Many of the strains are not as harmful as strains 16 and 18 which are detected in most cervical cancers. The virus lives on your skin and can be transmitted through skin-to-skin or sexual contact.
Vaccination is the most effective way to lower your, or your child’s, risk of developing an HPV-related cancer. It is especially effective when given prior to initiation of sexual activity.
According to the International Papillomavirus Society (IPVS), the World Health Organization (WHO) and virtually all countries in the world now recommend HPV vaccination. Over 200 million doses of the HPV vaccine have been given and no significant side effects have been identified, other than the temporary reaction at the injection site.
CANSA hopes that parents and guardians will consent to this as it is key to protecting our youth against potentially life-threatening disease. We encourage our teens who are planning their future to ensure HPV vaccination becomes part of their plan.
