Human Papilloma Virus - HPV - is a sexually transmitted disease that is known as "the silent killer" because its symptoms are so ambiguous most people don't know they have it. A proven precursor to both cervical and penile cancer, HPV can be deadly if left untreated. With 70 known strains of the virus in existence, HPV is widespread and - since condoms don't protect you - it infects over a million people per year in the US alone. This book aims to raise awareness of this disease, as well as other abnormal smear tests, and provide much-needed information and support for those infected, including self-examination that can be done at home.
