Mythbusting Mondays- "There's No Chance I'll Get It"

“If there was a reasonable risk of acquiring HPV, I’d get the vaccine.” – Male, 23

Here's one that I hear a lot, especially from boys. And unfortunately, there is a significant risk of getting HPV. 1 in 4 adults currently has HPV, especially among young people. It is the most common sexually transmitted infection. And because it usually doesn’t have any symptoms, you can’t tell whether or not your partner has an infection. The best thing to do to protect yourself is to get the HPV vaccine as soon as you can!

To find out where you can get the HPV vaccine, click here: https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/cdph/supp_info/clinical_health/hpv-vaccine-is-cancer-prevention.html

Remember, if you are 18 years or old, you do NOT need a parent’s permission to get the vaccine.

I was diagnosed of genital Herpes for 6 years, and ever since then i have been taking treatment to prevent outbreaks, burning and blisters, but there was no improvement until i came across testimonies of Dr. Timothy on how he has been curing different people from different diseases all over the world, then i contacted him. After our conversation he sent me the medicine which I took according to his instructions for up to 21 days. After completing the medication I went back to my doctor for another test and the virus was all gone and I was completely cured, since then I have not had any signs of outbreak. I’m so filled with joy. With herbal medication Herpes virus is 100% curable. I refer Dr. Timothy to everyone out there with the virus. His email address is [email protected] OR website https://5dc41d5b6d60d.site123.me
