What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about HPV and Abnormal Pap Smears

Author: Joel Palefsky

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus in America, and most sexually active women will contract a genital HPV infection sometime in their lives. Often without symptoms, an HPV infection can lead to cervical cancer; it is also the culprit behind genital warts, cervical dysplasia, and abnormal Pap smears. But many women have never even heard of this potentially deadly virus. Now this ground-breaking book -- the first written about HPV for the general public -- contains up-to-date, definitive information on protection and the most effective treatments. And sufferers of HPV will get the comprehensive and compassionate help they need.
