Cervical cancer is a disease that affects the female reproductive system. It is caused by HPV, the Human Papillomavirus. HPV is a common virus as it can be passed from one person to another during sex. Cancer.org says that, “Although cervical cancers start from cells with pre-cancerous changes (pre-cancers), only some women with pre-cancers of the cervix will develop cancer. The change from pre-cancer to cancer usually takes several years – but it can happen in less than a year. For most women, pre-cancerous cells will remain unchanged or even go away without any treatment. Still, in some women pre-cancers turn into true (invasive) cancers. Treating all pre-cancers can prevent almost all true cancers”. Cervical cancer is highly preventable with screening tests such as the Pap test. There are also vaccines available to prevent HPV infections. Vaccines.gov says that “when cervical cancer is found early, it is highly treatable and Read the full article →

December is AIDS Awareness Month There are more than one million Americans living with HIV. However, about one in five of that million is unaware that they are infected. Each December 1st, World AIDS Day, is dedicated to spreading world-wide awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV. Serving as the kick-off for the entire month of awareness, the need for money and improvement in education is a major driving force. Throughout December, many organizations host fundraising events such as walks and conferences throughout major cities.

As per the AIDS.gov website, “The Department of Read the full article →
