hi all.
i wanted to post this just as an awareness. i dont know if anyone is familiar with the hpv virus but a lot of women dont know or have even heard about this.
my sister went to the gynocologist 2 weeks ago and had a pap smear. on tuesday, the doc called her to come in coz her results were abnormal. she went yesterday and she was diagnosed with this virus.
its an std that stays with you. it can clear by itself or can show up and attack your cervix. if ignored, the virus can actually turn into cervical cancer. not everyone gets cancer from it, but there is an amount that can get it. my sister now must stay with this now and has to be checked every 3-6 months to make sure it doesnt spring up. it is treatable but they have to cut a peice of your cervix if it gets bad (thats the treatment).
it really hit home and i now am really sad for my sister. i am also making it a priority to check myself out too. men ususally carry this virus and not even know! and women can also give this virus to men too. most women have this virus and not know because it can be dormant for years! (my sister has had it for 5 years and it recently came up).
please, girls, check yourselves if you dont. be careful. lets check ourselves if we are active with men. i just wanted to post this for awareness of our bodies and lives. thanks for reading.
