If you've had sex or are currently having sex, this thread is for you. It might save you from a lot of problems in the future
Are you "clean"?
As long as you're having sex, you probably have one variant of Human Papilloma Virus that causes cervical cancer
There are over 100
Out of over a 100, 14 types of HPV(Human Papilloma Virus) can cause cancer including cancer of the cervix
These viruses are very common
You can get throat cancer if you give oral sex to someone who has one of these cancer causing types
Ask yourself: Has your partner tested?
Most people get this virus soon after they became sexually active. That's the most common time for infection for most people. Then they carry it around for a long.
Some variants of this HPV cause genital warts.
Don't say a person is clean just because they don't have HIV
The most common consequence of being infected with this virus is cervical cancer.
Almost all cases of cervical are caused by this Human Papilloma Virus, and it may take 15 to 20 years for cervical cancer to develop in women with normal immune systems
How can you prevent this?
One way is to get the vaccination, the HPV vaccine
It is best taken before you are sexually active.
Girls between 9-14 years even up to 26 can take
Can you take if you're older than this? Yes! But speak to you with your doctor first.
Also VERY important is getting a pap smear, this checks your cervix for signs of cancer
It can cost anywhere from N3500-N8000 some centres can charge higher
If you're 21 to 29 years and sexually active, PLEASE GET A PAP SMEAR EVERY 3 YEARS!
Or else, it's ten ten you're playing
If you're between 30 to 65 years, do yours every 3 years; or a HPV test every 5 years, or get a Pap test and HPV test together every 5 years
See ehn, you can't be sexually active and take this matter likely...
If you've ever had sex, any kind at all!
Don't ignore this thread
If you still want to learn how to protect yourself during oral sex especially with a new partner.
Some people think that it is caused by Juju, he stepped on something and his leg started swelling. When in fact, it is caused by a parasite that looks like a worm

Strangely, the presidential address seems to have deflated the verve of the Nigerian Youth. One would hope only momentarily, anyway. A pause to catch our breath and chart the rest of the course with renewed vigour.
It is not that we were surprised that this our Totem-in-Chief’s address lacked empathy for the people or said anything definitive either way. But I would suspect that we are deflated because it appears that the ruling class have dug themselves in and have chosen to draw this out.
They had done this through actions over that last 15 days and now with the subtext of their words.
The message was clear: our movement for a better Nigeria is dead on arrival and is unsalvageable.
This woman found a maggot in her baby's skin, it's the rainy season and these things are common.
They are caused by a fly that lays eggs on damp clothes when spread outside then the eggs hatch and dig under the skin to become flies

This condition is known as myiasis.
It can also be gotten from mosquitoes
Cover your skin and your child's skin when they're outside.
Initially it looks like a boil that wouldn't go, but can be painful
This condition is very common in tropical and subtropical regions. Nigeria is in a tropical region.
In humans, the flies mainly responsible are the human botfly (pic. 1&2) and the tumbu fly (pic 2). Look at the photos to recognize them.
