your Beauty Our duty

Starting at the age of 21, most women are encouraged to get an annual Pap smear for early detection and/or treatment for cervical cancer among other illnesses. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. This year in the U.S., 11,270 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4,070 will die from the disease.

As women, we must be our own health advocates by proactively asking our doctor about receiving the digene HPV test along with a Pap smear. The HPV vaccine is a new and powerful tool that is effective since it protects women from getting cervical cancer. You can learn more about it by going to http://www.thehpvtest.com. This web-site thoroughly covers information regarding HPV, the test, and cervical cancer prevention. It has enough educational materials that will help you reduce your risk of cervical cancer. It also includes information about insurance coverage.

You can join the Pearl of Wisdom™ Campaign to raise awareness of the new tools that are now available to prevent cervical cancer, advocate for making them available to girls and women everywhere, and encourage women to take full advantage of the protection they provide.
