Let me just educated you on something I was educated in recently! The Human papillomavirus is the MAJOR cause of Cervical Cancer, and in the UK alone about 2,800 are diagnosed with Cervial Cancer.
Human papillomavirus affects:
The lining of the mouth and throat
The Cervix
The Anus
Now, in the UK they were offering all the girls under 18 to be vaccinated against HPV, and they are hoping through half of the population being vaccinated, then the guys won't catch it too. YES, men can catch it too, mainly through oral and anus sex. (They catch it from their partners in oral and through the other way male-to-male are risky)
. Of the different types of HPV, types 16 and 18 cause about 7 out of 10 (70%) cancers of the cervix.
. Research has shown that Gardasil can prevent the development of anal warts which are caused by HPV types 6 and 11. At the moment we don’t know whether the vaccine will prevent HPV infection in the mouth. (I'm hoping since we are muslims, no funny business at the back, and well forget about going low or anything of that nature, it can be dangerous!)
THE vaccine works best on girls who have not been sexually active, as you get the virus through sex! But those who are active are still recommended as it still helps! So, has anyone on this forum taken this vaccine, would you consider taking it after having read this information? For 18's it is not FREE and you'll have to pay around £300-500.
p.s. They gave it to my little sister, and apparently she refused to take the last injection (comes in 3 steps) cause it lasts only for four years!!!!!!
