I recently lost a dear friend and mother of 2 to cervical cancer. In her honor we have founded the SAS Cervical Cancer Foundation. This is a disease that needs world wide awareness and for the stigma to be gone!! Kellie This is a great step in the right direction for HPV awareness and cervical cancer!

Many people never realize the all too important link between these two. Here in the United States, there are more than 6.2 million new HPV infections each year, which pales in comparison when looking at this from global scale. Oustide of the U.S., cervical cancer is one of the top cancer killers and takes the lives of many women because they are not able to see doctors or get annual exams. HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer and when left undetected or diagnosed, can lead to anal, penile, vaginal, head, neck and throat cancer - so by making people more aware of HPV and the potential threat it poses to the human body - not just at the point of the inital infection, but over the lifetime, is really important. This is a lifelong disease that can be dormant in your system for a very longtime only to reactivate when the immune system is compromised due to stress or illness. The threat is poses to our future fertility and generations is really scary. If there ever was a pandemic to be named, it is HPV! Thanks for raising awareness!

Shows that HPV is not only a women`s problem, it can also cause cancer in men. So we shouldn`t only concentrate on women, but try to increase the public awareness for the possibility of a vaccination in both, MEN & WOMEN.

Is the link between HPV and oral/orapharyngeal cancer included in any of the education? Research shows a connection, but that risk doesn't seem to be well-known in the general public.
