    Book Review: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

    “All cancers originate from a single cell gone wrong and are categorized based on the type of cell they start from. Most cervical cancers are carcinomas, which grow from the epithelial cells that cover the cervix and protect its surface” (Rebecca Skloot, 2010, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Henrietta was treated with radium tube inserts, which were sewn in place. Radium was first discovered in the late 1800s and it destroys any cells it encounters,…

    Hpv: Environmental Co-Factors and Prevention in the United States

    Cervical cancer is the third leading cause of death from malignancy in women worldwide. CC is multi-causal, and behavioral factors such as sexual practices, smoking, health screening practices and dietary habits all are important determinants of cervical cancer risk. Prevention, thus far, has been limited to Pap testing for abnormal cervical cells caused primarily by HPV, a sexually transmitted disease, which is present in 95% of CC cases. Pap tests have been implemented as a preventative service in most health facilities and Managed Care programs. If changes in cervical cells and HPV infection are identified and dealt with appropriately, CC would become a rare disease. Unfortunately, a significant percentage of the population does not have access to these services due to lack of adequate healthcare coverage, resources and access.…

    One: Merck's One Less Campaign

    Throughout the years prior to 2006, the amount of people being infected with human papillomavirus, or more commonly known as HPV, has been increasing. Even though HPV has been the subject of talk shows and school health lectures, at least 20 million Americans a year get infected with this virus. According to the Center for Disease Control, out of the 20 million Americans suffering from HPV each year, at least 33,300 cancer cases first root from HPV ("HPV-Associated Cancers Statistics,” par.1). These alarming statistics prompted Merck to release the first vaccine that could protect against the transmission of HPV in June 2006, called Gardasil. The release and availability of this vaccine…

    Mandatory Human Papilloma Virus

    Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the most commonly sexually transmitted disease in the United States. It is estimated that at least 80% of men and women acquire an HPV infection during their lifetime. “In a recent study of women in the United States 25% of fourteen to nineteen year olds were infected with at least one type of HPV. HPV is often acquired within a few months of sexual initiation, even among people with only one partner”. (Contemporary OB/GYN) Men are the main carriers of this infection but once a woman has been exposed to the infection she is also a carrier of HPV. Once a person has been exposed to this virus they will pass it to every partner they are sexually intimate with in their life time. Until recently it was believed that the most dangerous consequences of this virus were cervical and vaginal cancers in women. Recently it was discovered that HPV also causes cancers of the anus, penis, mouth and throat. The study included 1,100 men, ages 18 to 70. They were from the United States, Brazil and Mexico. All were tested for HPV when they enrolled in the study. Half the men were infected, the author told Reuters Health news service. They also were tested every six months for another 2 to 3 years. Researchers found that 6% of the men became newly infected each year with HPV Type 16. (Harvard) The HPV vaccination protects against the four most commonly found strains of HPV. There are two low risk and two high risk strains that are most commonly found. Type 6 and 11 are low risk strains of the virus and cause genital warts. Type 16 and 18 are high risk strains and cause cellular changes that can become cancers. HPV is the only sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can cause cancer in both men and women and it is estimated that eighty percent of the population has HPV whether or not they know it. Anyone who has had…

    The Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Decision:

    The Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Decision:

    Introduction: Though it had been suspected for some time, in 1999 research concluded that virtually all incidences of cervical cancer were caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. In 2006, a vaccine was licensed to protect against HPV 16 and 18 which are the high-risk virus types most likely to cause cancer of the cervix, and HPV 6 and 11, the low –risk types that cause non-cancerous genital warts (Conroy, Rosenthal, Zimet, Jin, Bernstein, Glynn, et al. 2009). The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) initially recommended that girls 11-12 be vaccinated with the quadrivalent vaccine, and that girls and women 13 to 26 receive “catch up” doses (Hitt, 2010). Later recommendations expanded to included vaccination for females and males ages 9 to 26 years old to prevent HPV caused anal cancer (Gamble, Klosky, Parra, Randolph, 2010).…

    Hpv Controversy

    Genital HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by the human papillomavirus (“Genital HPV Infection“), a group of viruses that contains more than 100 strains, 30 of which are sexually transmitted. This disease is spread by genital contact, and the carrier generally has no signs or symptoms of the infection. The only way to fully protect oneself from contracting HPV is to have no genital contact with another person. That is why it is no surprise that more than 20 million people currently have this infection and that 50 percent of sexually active persons will contract it at some point in their life. There is no cure for HPV, but it is possible for the infection to go away on its own. Though it is usually an…

    Promoting Positive Health Behaviors

    A population health issue of concern is the contracting and spreading of the Human Papillomavirus, also known as HPV. HPV is a virus that is contracted sexually through skin to skin contact and is known for its role in being a causative agent in cervical cancer among women of all ages (CDC, 2013). The concern with HPV is that the disease does not focus on one particular age group, however, the prevention of the disease is focused on teenagers both male and female between ages 11-12. According to the CDC, HPV infects roughly 20 million people in the U.S. with approximately 6.2 million new cases each year (CDC, 2013).…

    The human papillomavirus infection (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). HPV can be spread by having vaginal, anal, and oral sex with a person who is infected. Nearly 80 million people are infected with the infection, that is about one fourth of the population. (Center for Diseases Control and Prevention, Why does my child need HPV vaccine?)
