Peer Presentation

This group K.A.S.A de Blogs presented about the STD, human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is the leading and most common STD for young women between the ages of 13-26 years old and the most common effects it has on your body are genital warts and cervical cancer. I wrote about this blog because us a young women and men need to take extreme precaution to not practicing safe sex and know the stats of how this can affect your health. Although it's lopsided for men and women to find out if you having seeing as though women can be tested and men can not. Both men and women need to practice safe sex but also both can be prescribed the medication Gardasil but women can also take Cervarix. Gardasil is a shot that you can get from your primary care doctor and you get the shot three times in three month increments. STD's are no joke amongst our peers and around the nation so I advise all of my peers to take precaution because this is your health in jeopardy especially my fellow females. I'm glad that one of the group members was very passionate about this rarely touched subject because she had contracted the STD and felt the need to promote awareness and I agree.Because sometimes you can walk around and not know that you have HPV continue spreading it so go get tested and be ONE LESS.
