Human
Papilloma Virus (HPV) is accountable for the outbreak of a new deadly disease.
It is predicted that this new epidemic, even deadlier than AIDS, will claim
many lives. According to new
research, condoms cannot provide 100% protection against HPV (or HIV/AIDS),
which can spread through skin-to-skin contact with infected areas of the skin
not covered by the condom, such as the male and female genitalia.
HPV is the name for a
group of viruses that affects your skin and the moist membranes lining your
body, for example, in your cervix, anus, mouth and throat.
HPV is a common and
highly contagious infection, with over three quarters of sexually active women
acquiring it at some time in their lives. HPV is sexually transmitted, but
skin-to-skin genital contact is also a well-recognized mode of
transmission.
This means that
condoms cannot give full protection. HPV is mainly transmitted through sexual
contact and most people are infected with HPV shortly after the onset of sexual
activity.
Cervical cancer is by
far the most common HPV-related disease. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer,
which is the leading cause of death in women, can be attributed to HPV
infection. Women are more susceptible to contracting the virus than men.
