SAFE SEX or NO SEX

Safe sex is a must but the highlight always seems to be on HIV. Currently young women are at risk of pre-cancer/abnormal cells of their vulvas in relation to the HPV virus. The same virus that causes cervical cancer. However, there is no awareness for Vulval Intraplithelial Neoplasia (VIN) and its effects in younger women are distressing and may even lead on to vulval cancer in later life. Vulval self-examination and education on this subject is as important as any other education for women's health.
