icon16 HPV and cervical cancer

I'm trying to spread the word about HPV and its link to cervical cancer and wanted to give everyone a heads up about the HPV Test...

Cervical cancer is the only cancer with a single known cause-- the human papilloma virus (HPV).
A lot of people don't realize that there is now a test to detect HPV. The pap alone is not foolproof -- it can miss up to half of the time. But when combined with the pap, the HPV Test is virtually 100% accurate in identifying women at risk for cervical cancer. Ask your doctor about it, especially if you are 30 or over.

YouTube has some good informative videos with patients telling their stories:
