Sex and cancers
Courtenay Bartholomew
Wednesday, May 28th 2008
It is all about education young anal blonde girls and the lack of it. It is interesting therefore how many people do not know about the human papilloma virus (HPV), a family of viruses that infects the cervix, vagina and rectum and which, if undetected or untreated, may eventually lead to cervical cancer and much less often penile, anal, mouth and throat cancer.
There are many types or strains of this virus and type 16 and 18 cause about 70 per cent of cervical cancers. In the USA, HPV is considered the most common sexually-transmitted infection. Six million people are newly infected each year and about 20 million people are currently infected.
Women who become sexually active at a very young age or who have had many sexual partners have the highest risk of being infected with high risk strains of HPV. There is however a prolonged incubation period of more than 10 years from HPV infection progressing through pre-cancerous to invasive cervical cancer. There is also some evidence that smoking increases the risk of cervical cancer if you are infected with high risk strains of HPV.
Fortunately, cervical smear tests (often called Pap smears) can detect pre-(or early) cancerous changes before invasive cancer develops. "Pap" refers to Dr George Papanicolaou of Cornell University, New York, USA, who discovered the smear technique. If caught early, the treatment of pre-cancerous changes in anal xondemand the cervix can be highly successful. The problem can be removed by a simple surgical procedure. That is the good news.
The bad news is that (as if they do not have enough problems) HIV-positive women compared to HIV-negative women are more girls painful anal insertions likely to be infected with HPV, to have a greater number of different types of HPV at the same time and to develop anal slut cancer as a result of their infection. As one third of all HIV-positive women are infected with HPV and since 1993, cervical cancer has been classified as an AIDS-defining illness.
Now, in most cases the body is able huge anal creampie to clear infection with HPV, even those strains that cause cancer. However, HIV-positive women, particularly if they have a very weakened immune system, are less likely to be able to clear HPV infection naturally. Moreover, it is not known to what extent condoms protect against HPV as areas of the skin not covered by a condom can be exposed to the virus. This is one major difference between HIV and HPV, the former not being able to penetrate intact skin.
So said, HIV-positive women should have Pap smears more frequently than HIV-negative women. They should have cervical smears when they are first diagnosed with HIV, six months after and then every year. Anti-retroviral therapy does improve the ability of the immune system to fight off infections including HPV and this is another reason why treatment and assessment should be sought immediately after one is diagnosed as being HIV positive. Many lives are saved this way.
Now, the incidence of oral and anal carcinomas is also significantly increased in HIV/AIDS patients compared to the general population. In very recent studies by researchers at Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore, USA, it was found that cases of oral cancer caused by HPV transmitted during oral sexual practices appeared to have increased drastically over the past 30 mom does anal years and is related to changes in people's sexual behaviour over this period. I am sure it applies worldwide.
Indeed, according to desitin anal fissures the New Scientist magazine, the prevalence of HPV is high, particularly among young people, and this should not be a surprise given that since the sexual revolution of the sixties, people have been having more sexual partners and there are also certain sexual practices, uncommon in days of yore, which can be potentially infectious in certain promiscuous people today. It brings to mind the reason for anal warts removal Slinger Francisco's calypso in the white anal late 1960s - "60 Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong." It was a saucy parody in calypso, which was meant to make fun of a sexual anal destruction ashley practice, which was previously taboo and virgin anal sex illustrated quite shoo shoo until the sixties.
Given that more than six million people in the United States becomes infected with HPV every year and nearly 10,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer, the pharmaceutical research laboratories have eventually produced a vaccine against HPV, which has great potential to avert pre-cancer and cancer. However, this expensive vaccine, like all vaccines, does not cure people who are already infected. Since the vaccine has the greatest benefit when it is given before a person becomes sexually active, it has been recommended that it be given to girls at age 11 or 12 with an opt-out option for parents who object. Naturally, this proposal, although scientifically rational, has not surprisingly sparked debate. On the other hand, routine vaccination of boys is thought not to be cost-effective
Some describe the vaccine as a sex vaccine and are concerned that it will encourage promiscuity. Although many groups in the USA claim to support the vaccine, the idea of mandating is not popular and so far Virginia is the only state in the US anal destruction pics that has mandated HPV vaccination for school entry her first anal experience beginning in 2010. The way things are going here, I wonder what will be the position of the Ministries of Education and Health in Trinidad and Tobago by 2020?
