Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are a group of more than 40 types of viruses that infect the genital areas, throats (recurrent respiratory papillomatosis), and mouths of males and females and is the number one most common sexually transmitted disease (Center for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2009). It is spread by genital contact. It is most easily spread by vaginal and anal sex, but also through oral sex and even just genital-to-genital (skin-to-skin). In 90% of people that contract HPV, their own immune system clears it up within two years, most never even developing any symptoms from it (CDC, 2009). Out of the many types of HPV types, most end up causing warts on one of the above-mentioned areas, while a certain few are known to cause cervical cancer. Lockwood-Rayermann & McIntyre (2009) state that “[t]he most common oncogenic/high-risk virus types worldwide and in the United States are Types 16, 18, 31, 45, and 52; 11% of invasive cervical cancers in the United States are caused by Types 16 and 18 (55% by Type 16 and 22% by type 18). HPV Types 31, 45, and 52 comprise another 8% of all cases.” Cervical cancer is usually not detected until it is quite advanced, which is why women should get screened for cervical cancer regularly. There is also another precaution women can take. The Food and Drug Administration approved the very first vaccine to prevent cervical cancer by the types of HPV that cause it in June of 2006 (Thomas, 2008). This vaccine, being new, and therein little is known about its long term effects, has caused ethical debates about the use of it, particularly in adolescent girls.…
Most sexually active people are exposed to HPV at least once in their lives. HPV is shorthand for human papillomavirus, which is highly contagious. Of the many types of HPV, only two are responsible for genital warts. Those two are labeled HPV 6 and 11. Other types of HPV can cause cancer.…
It could be argued by the Western world, that science is our God. Due to the vast progression in science, man has been able to make amazing discoveries and accomplishments, such as putting roving robots on mars, creating machines that can go faster than the speed of sound and creating a thirty inch television that can be rolled up and be put in a paper towel tube for our convenience. While scientific discoveries and accomplishments are usually amazing, beneficial and bring further understanding of the world around us, there is a real danger of replacing God with science, such as those who hold the belief of scientific naturalism. Those who uphold scientific naturalism believe that “nothing exists except the material, there are no nonphysical entities such as God or souls”, as they shut out God completely and try to impose their beliefs on the world around them (Wilkens & Sanford, 2009, p. 101).…
Today, head and neck cancer in the United States is about 3% of all cancers. This type of cancer is most common in individuals over the age of 50 and has a greater risk in men compared to women. There are many risk factors that can increase your risk of getting head and neck cancer, such as alcohol and tobacco use, two of the most common (“National Cancer Institute”, 2013). Following treatment of head and neck cancer, many side effects occur, such as dysphagia, depending on the type of treatment that is chosen. In this journal article review, it will provide a brief summary of the article, “Rehabilitation of Dysphagia Following Head and Neck Cancer,” the key concepts expressed in the article, and my thoughts on what the article taught me…
Genital Herpes is a common Sexually Transmitted Disease. It affects both male and female. Genital Herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HVS-2. HSV-1 usually causes cold sores beside the mouth. It can be spread to genital area during the oral sex. HSV-2 is highly contagious. It is the virus that causes genital herpes. This virus is able to spread through sexual contact or skin-to-skin contact.

This virus is extremely common and will infect 80 percent of women by their 50s (Bristol). Each year there are 6.2 million new cases, and for most strains of the virus, there are no symptoms. These infections are usually cleared up by the body’s immune system without them ever knowing they had it, and a few cases will cause genital warts in both sexes. However, a few certain strains are carcinogenic, and these cause cervical and other cancers in women, as well as throat, anal and other cancers in men as well.…

Many people in America are unaware of sexually transmitted disease and even fewer are aware of the human papilloma virus, which is also known as the HPV. Approximately 79 million Americans are currently infected with HPV. About 14 million people become newly infected each year. HPV is so common that nearly all sexually-active men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives. According to WWW.hpv.emedtv.com, “HPV is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States and across the globe. Approximately 20 million people are currently infected with this virus. About 6.2 million Americans get a new genital HPV infection each year. More than 100 different types of HPV exist, most of which are harmless. More than 30 types are spread through sexual contact. Some types of HPV cause genital warts single or multiple bumps that appear in the genital areas of men and women, including the vagina, cervix, vulva (the area outside of the vagina), penis, and rectum. On the other hand, many people infected with HPV have no symptoms. At least 50 percent of sexually active men acquire genital HPV at some time in their lives. HPV infection occurs as frequently in men as it does in women but certain groups of men are more likely to develop HPV related diseases. For example, gay and bisexual men are about 17 times more likely to develop anal cancer than heterosexual men. Men with weak immune systems, including those who have HIV or AIDs, are more likely than other men to develop anal cancer. Men with HIV are also more likely to get severe cases of genital warts that are harder to treat.”…

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most commonly sexually transmitted infection in the U.S. and there are more than 100 known HPV types, the majority of which are not harmful. About 75% of HPVs have been associated with non-cancerous warts (papillomas) on the hands, chest, arms and feet, such as low-risk HPV types 6 and 11. About 40 HPV types have been found in the mucosal surfaces of the cervix, vagina, vulva, anus, penis, mouth and throat, including the most common high-risk (cancer-causing) HPV types 16 and 18. High-risk HPV types are associated with development of cancer of the cervix and…
