"How Can I Have An STD When Iīm A Virgin?" When A Virgin Is Not A Virgin

There has been a constant, disturbing, and absolutely mind boggling concept spoken amongst young women who are entering into their twenties. It seems that the younger generation has altered the definition of a virgin, which has left them blinded and completely vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases and possibly death.
Dictionary.com defines the word virgin as: A person who has never had sexual intercourse. Sexual intercourse, dictionary.com defines as: 1. Coitus between h
umans. 2. Intercourse involving genital contact between individuals other than penetration of the vagina by the penis. If that wasnīt enough, HPV was another word that was being carried through the atmosphere as if it were wind. These "Young Virgin Women" had HPV, a sexually transmitted disease, Yet, in their minds, they were virgins.
Genital Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). The virus infects the skin and mucous membranes. There are more than 40 HPV types that can infect the genital areas of men and women, including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), and anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, and rectum. You cannot see HPV.
Most people who become infected with HPV do not even know they have it. Most people with HPV do not develop symptoms or health problems. But sometimes, certain types of HPV can cause genital warts in men and women. Other HPV types can cause cervical cancer and other less common cancers, such as cancers of the vulva, vagina, anus, and penis. The types of HPV that can cause genital warts are not the same as the types that can cause cancer.
HPV fact #11 from HPV. Com states: You donīt have to actually have sex to get HPV. Anyone who has any kind of sexual activity involving genital contact can get HPV, intercourse isnīt necessary. HPV is easily transmitted. In actuality, you can be exposed to HPV by having genital contact just once with another person who has the virus. The only way to totally protect yourself against HPV is to avoid any sexual activity that involves genital contact. http:// www.HPV.com
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), condoms may lower the risk of HPV if used all the time and the right way. HPV can infect areas not covered by the condom Thus condoms may not fully protect against HPV.
I want to make a plea to all the young ladies who are "Virgins" : Be wise and mindful of your choices. A virgin is an **Untouched Woman.** Sexual rubbing, (with no clothing), can put you at risk of contracting genital warts.Having oral sex can put you at risk for throat cancer.
Several studies have shown a relationship between oral sex and the presence of HPV DNA in mouth and throat samples. Other studies have shown a relationship between oral sex and HPV positive throat cancers, particularly in those individuals who perform oral sex on men.
There is a vaccine for HPV, but with all things,do your research: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concern/human_papillomavirus_vaccine.htm
The ways of the world has changed, Therefore, our mindset must conform with it. Sexual intimacy has to become a conscience decision, no longer an overwhelming wave of emotion powered by lust Our lives are at risk.
