Women at Risk: The Hpv Epidemic and Your Cervical Health

Rating:
Summary: STILL THE BEST BOOK OUT THERE ON HPV
Review: For women who take the extra steps to understand and take responsibility for their own bodies (and their daughters'), this book is another Must Read. Since women bear the brunt of consequences for most STD's, as well as other reproductive issues, it pays to be as informed as possible. Dr.Dr. Henderson and company are to be commended for bringing this particular issue into the light and to the popular consciousness.

Summary: important reading for professionals and laypersons
Review: I am a social worker. I work in a major hospital. I also hold a second job, working with teenagers. I try to keep aware of popular-level books on health issues--especially STDs-- because so many of my clients suffer from these conditions. The HPV virus is quite common, but most people don't know much about it. Teens especially need to learn how to protect themselves. This book is great and I feel comfortable recommending it to all my clients, both adults and adolescents. As a man, I'm glad that the book doesn't focus only on how this virus affects women but also looks at the impact on men. This is an important book for everyone to read, especially people in the helping professions--not only doctors and nurses, but also social workers, psychologists, school counselors and coaches.

Summary: Finally, a book that answers the questions
Review: I just read this book cover to cover in 24 hours. It is very well written, easy to understand for those of us that don't have a medical background, and full of great information on the HPV virus and cervical cancer. I recommend it highly to those that are dealing with the disease now and women of all ages. The book also covers how this disease can effect men and children. Everyone should be aware of this epidemic and what it means to their health. I wish there were more books out there like this. I am sending it to my two daughters that are both college age.

Summary: An excellent source of information
Review: I was recently diagnosed with HPV, a disease I had never even heard of before! I had so many questions that my doctors would not answer, and I was so scared... Then I found out about this book and found all the answers to my questions. It explains in a simple fashion what are usually complicated medical issues. I learned not only about HPV, but also what a virus is and how it can be linked with cancer... and how to better take care of myself and loved ones as it informs on how this epidemic affects nol only WOMEN, but MEN and CHILDREN as well. It offers medical and holistic approaches to the diseases and it gives you hope. I wish I had known about HPV before... it certainly is not a very discussed disease in schools nor the media, and this really saddens me now that I know how common it is. I am recommending this book to all the people I care about... and, since life is such a circle, I am recommending it to YOU! Good luck and good healing to you all. And THANK YOU Dr. Henderson... for caring so much!

Summary: STILL THE BEST BOOK OUT THERE ON HPV
Review: Since the publication of this book, a spate of new books have come out discussing the HPV virus. It's great that this little-known condition has finally received some publicity! However, I would have to say that I still think this is the most reader-friendly and focused book around. I highly recommend it, and I give it to all my clients and patients who come in with the HPV virus. I hope that Henderson, Yasgur and co. publish more books on other medical topics.
