[Must See] Check Out The Deadly Virus Other Than HIV Than Even Condom Can’t Protect You Against

Condoms have been hyped as master-protectors against $exually
transmitted infections.
However, health experts are warning that in as much as condoms
significantly decrease transmission rates of the most life-
threatening viruses such as HIV and hepatitis B and C, it’s not
foolproof.
At a meeting of cancer specialists at the University of Nairobi last
week, reproductive health expert, Nelly Mugo, said that even as we
take protective measures using condoms against most STIs
including HIV/Aids, the rubber sheaths cannot provide 100 per cent
protection against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). “Condoms
offer 60 per cent of HPV thus the virus can spread through skin-to-
skin contact with infected areas of the skin not covered by the
condom such as the scrotum, anus, or vulva,” Dr Mugo said.
The 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, released last
week, shows that male condoms are the most popular method
among $exually active unmarried women. Unmarried men too seem
to prefer condoms as the popular method to protect against STIs.
But for a virus whose disease has no symptoms, the inefficacy of
condoms allows for faster and wider spread, especially amongst
those with multiple s*x partners.
The only 100 per cent effective way to prevent HPV transmission is
abstinence from any s*xual contact, including or*l, an*l, and
vaginal s*x. See also: Morning after:That ‘oops’ moment when
women’s emergency pills backfire Since abstinence may not be a
realistic option, Dr Mugo advises remaining monogamous while in a
relationship, vaccination and screening for women. Women can also
pa$$ viruses without having any symptoms.
But the chance of females infecting men is estimated at less than
five per cent of the rates of male-to-female transmission. There are
more than 100 types of HPV and about 13 of these are cancer
causing, with HPV types 16 and 18 causing approximately 70 per
cent of all cervical cancers worldwide. Sadly, it’s physically difficult
to tell whether your partner has the HPV virus unless they have
private part warts, yet those who do not have visible signs can also
spread the virus.
The other interesting aspect of this particular virus is that you do
not need to have s*x for it to be pa$$ed on from one person to
another. The virus is found in the flora of the man-hood, scrotum,
vag1na, vulva@, or anus of a person who has the HPV. One can get
infected through kissing or touching an infected s*x organs or
through or*l s3’x.
Since cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among
adult women, in the developing world, and the second most
common cancer among women worldwide, preventive measures
include getting a pap smear for women and/or getting vaccinated.
Better still, it’s important that you be honest with your partner about
your s3’x history. Immunizing all girls before becoming $exually
active ideally aged nine to 13 years in order to lower the risk of HPV
took off in Kenya under a pilot project in Kitui County in 2013,
targeting 20,000 girls.
