A new deadly desease has hit South Africa. In April alone, more than 150 cases of this new STD have been reported in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and KZN.
While some STDs are annoying and uncomfortable, they’re generally not lethal. For example, chlamydia is treated with antibiotics and crabs are treated with an over-the-counter shampoo product. Other STDs have more dangerous effects. HIV is traditionally the most feared, but not necessarily the easiest to contract. What you need to be aware of is Human Papillomavirus (HPV) – it’s the leading killer of women worldwide and it’s incredibly easy to transmit.
While condoms are extremely effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy and a different array of STDs (like HIV), it can’t fully protect you against HPV. For women, the silent killer can lie dormant for years before it strikes. Here’s how to protect yourself and what to look for. More pics below.

Let’s be clear about what HPV is. Traditionally, HPV has been used as a catch-all category for nearly 150 strains of similar viruses, most of which have one thing in common – they all have nasty looking warts as a side effect.
The truth is, HPV is very common. Most sexually active men and women will contract it at some point in their lives because it’s transmitted in the most basic way… skin-to-skin contact. In other words, anytime your naked body rubs against another naked body, that’s an opportunity for HPV to spread. This is why condoms are only somewhat effective in protecting you from the virus. After all, sex generally involves a lot of skin-to-skin contact. That’s not even the scariest part.
The real kicker is that HPV can be passed from person to person even when the infected individual doesn’t have any symptoms. Remember how we said HPV can lie dormant for years without the infected person knowing they’re infected? Well that means even you could be transmitting the virus to others without knowing it.
While HPV might not be pretty, it’s more importantly dangerous for women as it’s closely tied with cervical cancer. The two types of HPV (#16 and #18) are involved in nearly 70% of all cervical cancer cases. So how can you protect yourself?
Unfortunately, the only way to be 100% sure you don’t contract the virus is to not have sex. Complete abstinence is the only thing that will guarantee your safety from HPV. That includes kissing or even touching anyone’s body parts.
This may not be ideal for those of us who enjoy sex and doctors are aware of this. Health practitioners can only encourage regular testing and the preventative vaccination for girls before they become sexually active. Catch-up vaccinations are also recommended for males up to age 21, and females up to age 26. Once you’ve become sexually active, it’s important to maintain an honest conversation about sexual health with your partners.

If women are the carrier or most infected, where do they get it from?
