Cervical Cancer Vaccine

The FDA-approved vaccine against HPV is a breakthrough in the fight against cervical cancer. But rather than giving a promise of hope, a lot of questions are left unanswered which left a lot of women in a limbo. When I first heard of this, my first question was, "What will this vaccine do to help a woman's body if that woman already has one of the hundred or so strains of this HPV virus?" This question is critical because there's no clear-cut answer really. In fact the harder part is really determining whether you have this virus or not. Different people have different lifestyles and different lifestyles also reflect different attitudes towards sex and safety. And even if you are in a monogamous relationship does that give you a guarantee that you are safer than the rest? Are you a candidate for this vaccine? Find your answers here.
