Condoms have been hyped as master-
protectors against sexually transmitted
infections. However, health experts are
warning that in as much as condoms
significantly decrease transmission rates of
the most life-threatening viruses such as HIV
and hepatitis B and C, it’s not foolproof.
At a meeting of cancer specialists at the
University of Nairobi last week, reproductive
health expert, Nelly Mugo, said that even as
we take protective measures using condoms
against most STIs including HIV/Aids, the
rubber sheaths cannot provide 100 per cent
protection against the Human Papilloma
Virus (HPV). “Condoms offer 60 per cent of
HPV thus the virus can spread through skin-
to-skin contact with infected areas of the
skin not covered by the condom such as the
scrotum, anus, or vulva,” Dr Mugo said.
The 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health
Survey, released last week, shows that male
condoms are the most popular method
among sexually active unmarried women.
Unmarried men too seem to prefer condoms
as the popular method to protect against
STIs. But for a virus whose disease has no
symptoms, the inefficacy of condoms allows
for faster and wider spread, especially
amongst those with multiple s*x partners.
The only 100 per cent effective way to
prevent HPV transmission is abstinence from
any s*xual contact, including oral, an*l, and
vaginal s*x. See also: Morning after:That
‘oops’ moment when women’s emergency
pills backfire Since abstinence may not be a
realistic option, Dr Mugo advises remaining
monogamous while in a relationship,
vaccination and screening for women. Women
can also pass viruses without having any
symptoms.
But the chance of females infecting men is
estimated at less than five per cent of the
rates of male-to-female transmission. There
are more than 100 types of HPV and about
13 of these are cancer causing, with HPV
types 16 and 18 causing approximately 70
per cent of all cervical cancers worldwide.
Sadly, it’s physically difficult to tell whether
your partner has the HPV virus unless they
have private part warts, yet those who do
not have visible signs can also spread the
virus.
The other interesting aspect of this particular
virus is that you do not need to have s*x for
it to be passed on from one person to
another. The virus is found in the flora of the
man-hood, scrotum, vag1na, vulva@, or anus
of a person who has the HPV. One can get
infected through kissing or touching an
infected s*x organs or through oral s3’x.
Since cervical cancer is the leading cause of
cancer deaths among adult women, in the
developing world, and the second most
common cancer among women worldwide,
preventive measures include getting a pap
smear for women and/or getting vaccinated.
Better still, it’s important that you be honest
with your partner about your s3’x history.
Immunizing all girls before becoming sexually
active ideally aged nine to 13 years in order
to lower the risk of HPV took off in Kenya
under a pilot project in Kitui County in 2013,
targeting 20,000 girls.
