your good for not getting te vaccine, because its pointless, some facts about gardasil…
1. It is a vaccine for a form of STD which increases your risk of cancer, but males are actually the only ones that get infected by the disease, they just transmit it onto females during intercourse
2. Personally i dont beleive they have done enough long term reserch, like early menopause
3. The reactions can be severe, but arent usually long term, but the vaccines affects on other parts of the body might be ore serious, aka dementia
i know alot of this sounds far fetched, but i have done heaps of reserch, im 15, and people thought i was crazy turning it down,
Scientists have found that tomatoes help prevent cancer, and so does coffee, but in moderation
staying out of the suns another thing, i dont mean spend the rest of your life inside, but dont spend too long out in the sun every day, and wear sunscreen
You learn about raw fruits and vegetables that are known to prevent all kinds of cancers. Go go google, and then type in the words, “foods that prevent cancer” as a starting point.
Some people supplement with concentrations of flash freeze dried antioxidant food molecules form the plant foods known to stop cancer in its tracks.
But, start how I told you. Google the phrase and you will see, that your body is the miracle, not junk science to make billions off of little girls for an unproven prevention.
My opinion is based on years of looking at both sides. I didn’t just come to this opinion without being extremely skeptical about everything no matter what study or where the information came from, so to you people so quick to give me a thumbs down… Research what I’ve researched before you judge.
HPV is spread through sex, so if your a virgin….no worries!!
Always have protected sex. Do not douche (disrupts the natural environment of the vagina) it makes you more susceptible to STD’s-including HPV once you do begin to have sex. Once you are sexually active-specifically within 6 months of your first time, go to your gynecolgist for a check up and then yearly for a pap smear. Cervical cancer is quite curable and unless it goes untreated for an extremely long time most people are cured. Its the people that don’t see a gyno yearly that get into trouble with cervical cancer. Try with all your might to stay a virgin as long as possible. I just did a rotatin through an STD clinic in March of this year (Im in nursing by the way) and almost every patient that we saw had the same story….my boyfriend cheated on me…..I met this girl I didn’t really know and we had unprotected sex…..my wife cheated on me……..basically my point is, people just have sex with so many different people and they just don’t believe IT can happen to them —-meaning an STD.
I’ll tell you the same thing I told my 16 year old daughter who is also still a virgin. Just because a penis looks normal and healthy and the boy is hot does not mean that he is disease free. For some reason, boys take longer to show symptoms of an STD usually when it gets really bad but in the meantime they spread it to whoever they are having sex with. Then the girl goes to the guy and says hey, I have herpes and your the only one I’ve been with. Then he thinks its all her because he isn’t having any problems when the truth is, he has it, he just doesn’t have any symptoms yet. Perhaps its because womens parts are complex and our insides are more visible….regardless please remember that and insist that whoever you decide to be with goes to the doctor and gets tested and either you go with them or insist on seeing the records so you know 100% that your safe. Boys are very embarrassed to go to a doctor, but if he really cares for you, he’ll understand and do it.
sorry to go off….its the mommy in me!!
There is a vaccine. Talk to your doctor. Stay a virgin until you are financially able to support yourself. Then if things don’t work out between you and whoever, you will have lost your most prized possession to Mr. Wrong but at least you can tell him to take a hike.
you dont need those test until you are sexually active,,
