There are a lot of dangerous diseases in the world, some are more dangerous than others but it is important to know about the ones that can affect you. When it comes to these diseases you want to know more about them so you can protect yourself. In today’s society STDs have become a major issue. HIV/AIDS, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Herpes, the list goes on and on (Planned Parenthood). So with all of these STDs you need to be aware of the symptoms and understand what it is and what it does so you can protect yourself.
HPV or the Human Papillomavirus is the most common STD in the United States (CDC). Since this disease is so common it should give you reason to be alarmed. HPV is so common you must be aware of the dangers and know the facts

They also go on to say, “Two HPV types (16 and 18) cause 70% of cervical cancers and precancerous cervical lesions.” The most common forms of cancer caused by HPV are cervical cancers, anal cancer, vaginal, vulvar, and penile cancers, and have been seen to cause oropharyngeal cancer (National Cancer Institute). Some are more common than others and they are also less dangerous. Cervical cancer is the most common type of cancer caused by HPV. According to the World Health Organization, “In 2008, there were an estimated 529,000 new cases and 274, 00 deaths due to cervical cancer.” HPV is very dangerous and it is something that has to be taken …show more content…
Warts are strong indications that you might have HPV. A common wart formed from HPV is genital warts. In women, the warts will be located around the vulva, anus, cervix, and vagina. In men they will be located penis, anus, or the scrotum. According to Mayo Clinic their appearance will consist of, “wise flat lesions, small cauliflower-like bumps or tiny stem-like protrusions.” The warts usually do not cause any discomfort or pain. However they can sometimes itch (Mayo Clinic).
The two most dangerous types of HPV do not cause warts. The Center for Disease control reported that the more deadly strands, “cause normal cells in the body to turn abnormal, and might lead to cancer over time. These HPV types can cause Cervical Cancer,” and the other types previously stated. Cervical Cancer does not have any symptoms until it reaches its more advanced stages. The CDC recommends, “It is important for women to get regular screening for cervical cancer. Screening tests can find early signs of disease so that problems can be treated early, before they ever turn into

I also use a site for teens it’s called: http://www.teensource.org/pages/3022/Non_Curable_STDs.htm I found this site also helpful but I think that the other sites had a little more detail.
What is the human papillomavirus (HPV)? According to the US government’s National Cancer Institute, human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a collection of more than one hundred viruses, many types having the ability to grow tumors or polyps that are malignant and others benign. Certain of the viruses are capable of forming genital warts. The HPVs that cause the common warts on hands and feet are different from those that cause growth in the throat or genital area (Human Papillomavirus). Professors Joe Cummins and Dr. Mae-Wan Ho inform us that some types are associated with cancer, and are called “high risk” HPVs. Of the more than one hundred types of HPVs, over thirty can be passed on through sexual contact. Most HPV infections occur without any symptoms and go away without treatment over the course of a few years. However, HPV infection sometimes persists for many years, with or without causing detectable cell abnormalities. Infection from “High risk” types of HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer. Pap smears have also led to earlier detection of these infections. Nearly all women who are sexually active will have HPV inf...
Many people do not develop any symptoms or any health problems at the beginning, in most cases the body’s immune system gets rid of the virus in two years. Although there is no way to know who will develop health problems. Some cases will develop genital warts in both males and females, the warts can also appear in the mouth, throat, anus, fingers, nails and cervix. Other types of HPV may cause the cells in the body to turn abnormal, which might lead to cervical cancer overtime if left untreated. The types of HPV that causes genital warts are not the same as the ones that can cause cancer. Types of HPV that can cause cancer are called High Risk HPV’s.
Cervical cancer is formed in the tissues of the cervix, an organ that connects the uterus and the vagina. Virtually all cervical cancers are caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections (Schiffman et. al., 2007). HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. According to the CDC, 75% of sexually active people aged 15-49 have the infection at some point in their lives. (CDC). Because HPV infection is usually asymptomatic, infected people do not know exactly when they get the infection. In most cases, the body is able to fight off the virus before any symptom. However, health problems such as genital warts and cancer may result with persistent exposure to HPV.
...nd can cause a variety of serious health problems if not treated. Health complications that are produced by HPV include genital warts, “cervical cancer” and other serious cancers such vulvar, vaginal, uterine, and ovarian all of which are characteristics of gynecological cancers. Starting with a young target audience will allow young women to be conscious and aware of what can lead to cancer. The saying “one thing leads to another” in this aspect is true, knowing details and what triggers cancer is what all women should to know. Based on the concept of this campaign I have a better understanding of gynecological cancer, the five main types of cancer and the risk factors. Through this campaign I am also able to deliver the message to female family members ensuring every woman in my family are aware of gynecological cancer given through the Inside Knowledge campaign.
According to Family Research Council, “Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that can cause abnormal tissue growth on different cell surfaces in and on the human body” (Gaul, 2014). HPV is passed alone during sexual contact with direct skin to skin contact and can often have little to no symptoms of infection at all which is why many individuals do not know that they have the disease. This can cause warts that will appear on the outer skin layers of the body or on mucus covered surfaces that are found in the throat and genitals. HPV is classified into two categories, it can be considered high-risk or cancer associated or low-risk or non-cancerous associated. HPV infects approximately 2...
The pleasure of sex can be ruined when you have genital warts. They’re unsightly and can make you feel less desirable. Even worse, they can make sex painful. The ugly growths result from a Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection you may have acquired many years ago which stayed dormant in your body. Now not only are genital warts creating a problem in your sex life, you’re facing the embarrassment of going to a doctor. Take heart. There are thousands like you and medical science has treatments and medications that can help.
It’s simply because HPV (human papillomavirus) creates nearly all cases of cervical cancer. The cervix is a small and tapered lower part of the uterus which opens into the vagina. Cervical cancer is a prevalent STI (sexually transmitted infection). Around 14 million people get infected each year.
Those who actively pursue denying the rights of others while trying to further their cause lead to a hatred against their movement. Vaccines, while an important aspect in maintaining proper health they should not be absolutely mandatory. The choice of vaccination should be left to the parents, as it is their right to nurture and care for their kids as they see fit(Anthony). Furthermore, a governmental mandate on vaccination causes many issues, it denies rights to the parents, it denies right to the grown adults and it taxes those who don’t comply. This strategy is not a very American approach, it is a strict mandate, and order then to conform. This goes against the American concepts of individualism(Anthony), this concept is Communist. There are also many circumstances that mandatory vaccination neglects, this includes the civil liberties granted to all citizens by the first amendment, and the equal protection granted by the 13 amendment(US Constitution). There are many reasons why the idea of mandatory
Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sexually Transmitted Diseases STDs, a.k.a venereal diseases, infectious diseases passed from one person to another during sexual contact. STDs are the most common infections known. More than 12 million people in the United States, including 3 million teenagers, are infected with STDs every year. The United States has the highest STD rate in the world about one in ten Americans will contract an STD during his or her lifetime. People who do not know they are infected risk infecting their sexual partners and, in some cases, their unborn children. If left untreated, these diseases may cause pain or may destroy a woman's ability to have children. Some STDs can be cured with a single dose of antibiotics, but AIDS cannot be cured. Those most at risk for contracting STDs are people who have unprotected sex—without using a condom, people who have multiple partners, and people whose sex partners are drug users who share needles. Static’s show that Americans between the ages of 16 and 24 are most likely of catching STDs than older adults, because younger people usually have multiple sexual partners than an older person in a long-term relationship. Teenagers may be embarrassed to tell their sexual partners they are infected Teenagers may also be embarrassed or unable to seek medical attention for STDs. This means that they only more likely to pass the disease to other young people and have a greater risk of suffering the long-term consequences of untreated STDs. STDs are transmitted by infectious bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and single-celled organisms called protozoa that live in warm, moist parts of the body, like the genital area, mouth, and throat. Most STDs are spread while having sex, but oral sex can also spread disease. Some STDs are passed from a mother to her child while pregnant, when the disease enters the baby's bloodstream, during childbirth as the baby passes through the birth canal, or after birth, when the baby drinks infected breast milk. AIDS can be transmitted by blood contact such as open wounds, between people who share infected needles or received through an injection of infected blood. Some people believe that STDs can be transmitted through shaking hands or other casual contact, or through contact with inanimate objects such as clothing or toilet seats, but they can’t. Chlamydeous, is from trachoma is bacterium, is the most commonly transmitted STD in the United States.
It is estimated that 90% of people who contract HPV never develop symptoms, and within two years, the body’s immune system clears the virus. The human papillomavirus in it’s low-risk form can cause warts, but typically the signs of the high-risk types only occur at the cellular level and can not be seen by the naked eye for years or even decad...
According to many Orange County HPV experts, there usually a number of strains of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) but only a few are responsible for the many cases of genital warts that have been recorded today. More specifically, the type 6 and 11 are prone to genital warts.

The glamorous side of sex is everywhere; music, tv shows, movies and social media. To a mature adult, it is easy to ignore the sexual messages in those outlets. However, to a teenager, going through mental and physical changes and peer pressure, it is extremely easy to fall for what is shown to “cool.” Everyone has fallen for half truths to be cool in their teenage life. It just so happens that teen pregnancies and STDs are not one of those things that one can simply walk away from. Babies and STDs leave a lasting effect on everyone involved.
