“Back in the day, having breast cancer was stigmatized to be a shameful thing. Fast forward to today, you can’t even pump gas without seeing a campaign about preventing it. We need to destigmatize HPV because it is a form of cancer as well, but it’s surrounded by so many negative connotations that we can’t have a proper, educational talk about it without those connotations in the back of your mind.”
In this episode, CEO and founder Kinia Romanowska is joined by Founder and President of HPV Global Action Teresa Norris to discuss her experience in raising awareness on the human papillomavirus, the importance of preventive care, and the solutions available to keep monitoring HPV-related risks in our families and communities.
Combining personal insights with hard facts and numbers, this episode brings you up-to-date information on how to keep you and your family safe against HPV infections and prevent cervical cancer.
