I didn’t know what it meant to have an abnormal Pap test.

When I heard how many people my age have this virus called HPV, I wondered if any of my friends know about it.

I read an article about genital warts. I didn’t realize how disruptive they could be.

I didn’t think cervical cancer was something I needed to worry about at my age—until now.

Now that I have heard about HPV, I need to think not only about myself, but about my daughter’s future as well.

I just found out cervical cancer isn’t only for older women to think about. You can get the virus that causes it at a young age!

Because HPV often has no signs or symptoms, getting regular Pap tests becomes even more important.
