Unsafe sexual behavior, among others, multiple partners, or not using condoms during sex rather than with regular partners. For those who are not vaccinated, the behavior is a risk of spreading HPV causes cervical cancer in women.
Some have been concerned, or HPV cancer vaccination service can give adverse effects on sexual behavior. The reason, so it is not safe sexual behavior because it was already protected from the risk of transmission of HPV or cervical cancer.
Assumption that is still confusing is tickling the researchers to prove its truth. Finally a survey to reveal it included in the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) involving 1,200 people in the United States.
"Clearly we must determine whether there is a relationship between vaccination with the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted infections and healthy sexual behavior change," said Nicole C. Liddon, PhD, who led the study as quoted from NYdailynews, Friday (30/12/2011).
Vaccination is one of the primary prevention of cervical cancer, whereas the secondary prevention of early detection through pap-smear and visual inspection of acetic acid (VIA). Avoiding sexual intercourse at an early age also include prevention efforts that can be done.
