Empowering Men's Health: Understanding HPV Testing with DrsafeHands
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide, affecting both men and women. While often associated with cervical cancer in women, HPV can also pose serious health risks for men, including genital warts and certain types of cancers. To address this issue, DrsafeHands, a leading healthcare provider in India, offers specialized HPV testing services for men. In this blog, we will explore the importance of HPV testing for men, the significance of early detection, and how DrsafeHands is pioneering efforts to empower men’s health.
The Importance of HPV Testing for Men:
Preventing Transmission: HPV is highly contagious and can be transmitted through sexual contact. Testing helps in identifying HPV infections, enabling individuals to take necessary precautions and prevent the spread of the virus to their partners.
Detecting High-Risk Strains: Some HPV strains are considered high-risk and are linked to various cancers, including cancers of the throat, anus, and genitals. HPV testing helps in identifying these high-risk strains early, allowing for timely medical interventions and reducing the risk of cancer development.
Preventing Complications: HPV infections in men can lead to genital warts, which, although not cancerous, can be uncomfortable and socially distressing. Early detection through testing allows for prompt treatment, preventing the development and spread of warts.
HPV Testing Process at DrsafeHands: DrsafeHands offers a streamlined and confidential HPV testing process tailored for men:
Consultation: During a confidential consultation, healthcare professionals at DrsafeHands discuss your concerns and provide information about HPV testing. They address any questions you may have, ensuring you are well-informed about the process.

Accurate Results: DrsafeHands utilizes advanced testing methods to provide accurate and reliable results. Rapid and precise testing ensures that you receive timely information about your HPV status.

Article
"Every year, over 350,000 women die from cervical cancer and another 660,000 are diagnosed. [Note: Plus trans men and other trans people with a cervix.] As a consequence, children are orphaned, families impoverished and communities diminished by the loss of mothers, wives, daughters and sisters. 
And yet, unlike most other cancers, almost all these cases and deaths can be averted. We have powerful vaccines that can prevent infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer; we have diagnostics to detect it early; and we have treatments for those it strikes. With these tools, cervical cancer can not only be stopped; it could become the first cancer to be eliminated. Some high-income countries are already close to elimination, meaning fewer than four cases per 100,000 women.
But in many low- and middle-income countries, these tools are still not available, which is why 94% of cervical cancer deaths occur in those countries. 
In 2018, WHO launched a global call to action to eliminate cervical cancer, which was followed in 2020 by the adoption by all 194 WHO Member States of a Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer as a Public Health Problem. The strategy calls for countries to achieve three targets by 2030: 90% of girls fully immunised against HPV; 70% of women receiving timely screening; and 90% of those found with precancer or cancer accessing treatment.
These targets are not just aspirational, they are achievable, even in low- and middle-income countries.  Bhutan has already reached the targets, the first to do so in the South-East Asia region. 
Since introducing the HPV vaccine in 2011, Rwanda has reached vaccine coverage of 90%, and today announced its national goal to reach the 90-70-90 targets three years ahead of schedule, by 2027. Already, in two districts – Gicumbi and Karongi – Rwanda is meeting those goals. Nigeria, which introduced the HPV vaccine in October last year [2023], has already vaccinated 12.3 million girls.  
We have the tools and the opportunity to eliminate cervical cancer. 
Since WHO issued the global call to action in 2018, more than 60 countries have introduced the HPV vaccine into their immunisation programmes, bringing the total to 144 countries that are routinely protecting girls from cervical cancer in later life. With scientific advances, we can now prevent cervical cancer with just a single dose, which 60 countries are now doing.  
The largest provider of HPV vaccines to low- and middle-income countries is Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, which plans to vaccinate 120 million children between now and 2030. But this plan requires that investments in health are sustained. We are also counting on manufacturers to confirm and honour their commitments to provide HPV vaccines to low- and middle-income countries in the coming years, to avoid the supply constraints that held back progress in the past.
But we cannot rely on vaccines alone. The impact of the rapid scale-up in vaccinating girls now will not be seen for decades, when they reach the adult years when cervical cancer typically appears. To save lives now, we must match the increase  in vaccination with increases in screening and treatment. 
Decades ago, as more women gained access to pap smears in developed countries, the mortality associated with cervical cancer dropped rapidly. Today, even better tests are available. Over 60 countries now include high-performance HPV tests as part of their screening programs. Women can even collect their own samples for HPV testing, removing more barriers to life-saving services. In Australia – which is on track to become one of the first countries in the world to achieve elimination – more than a quarter of all screening tests are now done this way...
Several countries are also investigating the use of artificial intelligence to enhance the accuracy of screening in resource-limited settings. When women are found with precancerous lesions, many are now treated with portable battery-powered devices, which can be operated in remote locations."
-via The Telegraph, November 18, 2024. Article written by Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO).

public/private knowledge
Tumblr media
Public Knowledge
Carla Radames was in foster care for her childhood. The foster care service due to upgrading their system lost her records
She was scouted by the prestigious Simmons Family.
She was adopted by Marshall Simmons (Derek's cousin) at age 6 to be put into their accelerated learning program.
She attended John's Hopkins within a few years and graduated at 15 with her PhD in Virology. Her culminating thesis was on the usage of viral markers in cancer prevention, with a focus on HPV.
She published a few journals on using viruses as machines to provoke changes in mice.
She was brought into Derek C. Simmons's workforce after graduating. Her projects were then classified.
Private Knowledge (cw for multiple types of abuse and grooming)
Carla was put on a program track by the Simmons family that targeted children that showed extreme early aptitude in multiple fields. These children were taken from foster systems or abandonment situations.
The private education that she was exposed to was structured to encourage pride in the hard work the students were doing at the cost of social needs being met.
Carla was exposed to Derek C. Simmons as a ten year old when she was asked if she wanted to use her gifts to "help him achieve something great". From that point on the focus of her study was medical sciences.
She was passionate about the subject, of course, but she did not choose this path.
She was brought on to "Project Ada" at 15 after she graduated. Project Ada was explained as an "adult cloning project" using samples of the Golgotha and Tyrant viruses, including the capricious and deeply dangerous T-Veronica Virus.
Project Ada did not begin in the Tall Oaks lab. The Tall Oaks test center was one of dozens of other facilities working on this project. Tall Oaks specialized in the recycling of the sourced dead from The Family catacombs.
It was explained to her that this was for the "perfect woman".
Carla created the Chrysalid Virus (C-Virus) to accomplish this.
Carla was constantly praised and berated for her work by Simmons, who ended up her only social contact.
Despite the praise, Project Ada was costly. Many of the scouted other individuals were used as the fuel for this Project, costing thousands of lives.
Carla put her genome into the project to try and complete it, as the failure was something she saw as ultimately her fault.
When Derek eventually found out, he asked one of her subordinate researchers to assess her personal success in the project. When the results came back he invited Carla to a restaurant and had their pictures taken together for celebration. She had no idea what they were celebrating but treasured the picture.
Derek poisoned her and had a coroner declare her dead, before taking her body for "burial" at his family cemetery, considering she was technically his dependent.
Derek infected her with the C-Virus a few days later, recording the success and keeping it in the Tall Oaks Lab.
Carla's memory of everything was obliterated when she woke up.
She was brainwashed and groomed from that point on to be "Ada Wong", or rather, Derek's deeply disgusting and fetishized interpretation of "Ada Wong".
He married Carla (as Ada), almost immediately.
Derek was rarely openly "with" Carla after a certain point, considering her erratic behaviors intolerable and embarrassing.
After the turn of the year, at the beginning of 2010, Carla began her long-term plans officially.
She was responsible for kidnapping a state senator out of China, and a horrific half of a year long rampage through the Far East in a massacre AS Derek, who she stole the identity of during it. The survivors of these attacks insist that "demons" were responsible.
She was responsible for stoking, funding, and manning the front line of the Edonian Civil War for her own reasons.
She actually was the kindest to Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin, who she saw as fellow monsters. Not that it helped them at all.
She intended to kill everyone and then herself with the Lanshiang attack. Whether or not she lived was inconsequential.
She was found by ex USS operative "Beltway" after the events of 6, 7 years later, in a cocoon in the belly of an C-Infected whale.
After a long four years, she's allied with "The Guild", filled with Umbrella's throwaway personell. She doesn't go by Ada Wong anymore. The Guild has given her the callsign "Ahab/AHAB".
She's hunting every single member of the Simmons family in any political position, and is killing them.
She's given up the entire world as a goal (for now). She just wants The Family to die.
C-Virus is NOT a marketable or popular virus, and the strain from 2013 is NOT what she carries now. What she carries now is a remnant of HAOS's horrific infectivity and her own mutated "Chimera Virus".
She is not human.
She frequently has symptoms of psychosis and avoids mirrors and reflective surfaces when possible.

need: resources (im in canada if that makes any difference)
tw references sexual assault
do you guys have a link to that post about what tests and vaccines/treatments you can get after you were forced too have sexual contact with someone and you dont know if they have anything? im tryg to find it somewhere and i really need its advice
thank you a tonn
Hi anon,
I'm sorry about what happened to you. I'm not sure which post you're referring to so I can give you some resources here.
Firstly I would recommend taking note of any symptoms you may be having right now, if any. Even if you don't have any symptoms at the moment, it's important to remember that you may still be carrying a dormant STI, so an examination may still be necessary. It will be convenient to have an inventory of your symptoms to make a potential medical examination easier.
You may want to look into an appointment with a healthcare provider such as a gynecologist or urologist. Depending on how long ago the assault occurred and what local hospitals are participating, you may be able to receive a sexual assault forensic medical examination. Also depending on what STIs are suspected, they may also need to conduct a blood or urine test (for cases such as HIV).
This resource also says that there are at-home STI tests available in Canada, which is especially convenient if you do not have a family physician. Looking further into this however, it looks like the only available test through their website is for HPV testing. So it may be a better option to seek professional medical care to be able to get tested for multiple STIs.
This resource states that you can get tested via your healthcare provider, a sexual health clinic such as Planned Parenthood, a local public health unit, or a walk-in clinic.
Here is a list of Canadian sexual assault hotlines you can also reach out to. Here is also a list of Canadian sexual health services.
I hope I could help. Best of luck with everything. Please let us know if you need anything.

Understanding STIs: Prevention, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a critical aspect of reproductive health that affects millions of people worldwide. Understanding how to prevent, recognize, and treat STIs is vital for maintaining overall health and well-being. In this blog, we’ll explore key facts about STIs and how resources like an abortion clinic or the availability of the abortion pill may intersect with STI care and awareness.
What Are STIs?
STIs, or sexually transmitted infections, are infections passed from one person to another through sexual contact. They can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. While some STIs are curable, others require long-term management. Left untreated, STIs can lead to serious health issues, including complications with reproductive health.
Prevention of STIs
Prevention is the first and most important step in controlling the spread of STIs. Here are some effective strategies:
Use Protection: Using condoms or dental dams during sexual activity significantly reduces the risk of STIs.
Regular Screenings: Visiting a trusted abortion clinic or reproductive health center for regular STI screenings ensures early detection and treatment.
Vaccinations: Vaccines for HPV and hepatitis B provide protection against specific STIs.
Open Communication: Discussing sexual health openly with partners and healthcare providers fosters a better understanding of risks and prevention strategies.
Common Symptoms of STIs
STIs often present with subtle or no symptoms, making regular check-ups critical. However, when symptoms occur, they may include:
Unusual discharge from the genital area
Pain during urination or sexual intercourse
Sores, blisters, or rashes in the genital or oral regions
Itching or irritation
Unexplained pelvic pain
If you experience any of these symptoms, seeking prompt medical attention is essential. Many abortion clinics also provide comprehensive sexual health services, including STI testing and treatment.
Treatment Options for STIs
Treatment varies depending on the type of STI. Early intervention can prevent complications and transmission. Below are some common treatments:
Bacterial STIs:
These include chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
Treated effectively with antibiotics.
Regular screenings at a reproductive health clinic are crucial for early diagnosis.
Viral STIs:
Examples include herpes, HIV, and HPV.
While these cannot be cured, medications can manage symptoms and reduce transmission risks.
Parasitic STIs:
These include trichomoniasis and pubic lice.
Treated with specific antiparasitic medications.
Abortion clinics often serve as a point of contact for reproductive health concerns, including STI management. These clinics can provide valuable resources and referrals for ongoing care.
STIs and Reproductive Health Services
STIs and reproductive health are closely linked. Conditions like untreated chlamydia and gonorrhea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which affects fertility and overall reproductive health. If an individual with an STI becomes pregnant, addressing both conditions simultaneously is vital.
Role of Abortion Clinics: Many abortion clinics offer holistic care that includes STI testing, counseling, and treatment alongside pregnancy-related services. Whether you're seeking an abortion pill or another form of care, discussing your STI status ensures comprehensive treatment.
Impact on Abortion Pill Usage: While STIs generally don’t affect the effectiveness of the abortion pill, untreated infections may increase the risk of complications. Therefore, testing and treating STIs are critical for those seeking abortion care.
When to Seek Help
It’s important to seek professional guidance if you suspect an STI or want to prioritize prevention. Here’s when to visit a healthcare provider or abortion clinic:
After unprotected sex with a new or multiple partners.
If you or your partner experience STI symptoms.
Before using the abortion pill or other reproductive health procedures.
Breaking the Stigma
One of the barriers to STI prevention and treatment is the stigma surrounding sexual health. Education and open discussions can help dismantle these barriers, ensuring more people access the care they need. Abortion clinics and reproductive health centers play a pivotal role in providing a judgment-free environment for STI-related services.
Conclusion
Understanding STIs, their prevention, symptoms, and treatment, is key to maintaining sexual and reproductive health. Whether through regular STI screenings, seeking treatment at a trusted abortion clinic, or accessing reproductive health services like the abortion pill, taking proactive steps ensures better health outcomes for you and your partners.
Remember, your health is your priority, and there are resources available to support you every step of the way. If you have concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to a healthcare provider or a local reproductive health center for guidance.

How Can Cancer Screening Checkups in Chennai Help Detect Early Signs of Cancer?
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but when detected early, it is often more treatable and manageable. Cancer screening checkups, including full body cancer check-ups in chennai , play a crucial role in detecting the early signs of cancer before symptoms even appear. In Chennai, numerous healthcare facilities, such as Asto Labs, offer advanced screening services that can help identify cancers in their early stages, giving patients a better chance at successful treatment. Here's how cancer screening checkups in Chennai can help detect early signs of cancer
Tumblr media
1. Early Detection Saves Lives
Many cancers do not show obvious symptoms in their initial stages, making it difficult for individuals to recognize the disease. Regular cancer screening allows for the identification of abnormal cells or potential cancerous growths before they develop into a full-blown illness. Detecting cancer early increases the chances of successful treatment and survival.
2. Variety of Screening Tests Available
Chennai offers a range of specialized cancer screening tests based on your age, gender, and family history. Common screenings include:
Mammograms for breast cancer
Pap smears and HPV tests for cervical cancer
Colonoscopy for colon cancer
Blood tests for prostate cancer (PSA test)
Low-dose CT scans for lung cancer, especially for those with a history of smoking
Asto Labs and other diagnostic centers in Chennai offer these screening tests with the latest technologies, ensuring accurate results and early detection.
3. Targeted Screenings for High-Risk Groups
Certain individuals may be at higher risk of developing cancer due to factors like family history, age, lifestyle, or environmental exposure. In Chennai, screening checkups are customized to suit the needs of high-risk individuals. For example, people with a family history of breast cancer can undergo genetic testing and mammography more frequently. These tailored checkups help in closely monitoring potential signs of cancer.
4. Non-Invasive and Painless Procedures
Most cancer screenings are non-invasive and cause minimal discomfort. For example, mammograms involve the use of X-rays to detect breast cancer, while colonoscopies and Pap smears are simple procedures that allow doctors to spot abnormal growths early. In many cases, early detection is possible without any invasive surgery or lengthy hospital stays.
5. Accurate Diagnosis and Prompt Treatment
Screening checkups in Chennai are conducted by skilled professionals using state-of-the-art technology. Once a screening detects any abnormality, further tests or biopsies may be done to confirm the presence of cancer. Early diagnosis allows for quicker intervention and more effective treatment plans, which can dramatically improve the prognosis. Asto Labs is known for its accurate and timely diagnostic services, which help healthcare professionals in formulating the right treatment approach.
6. Preventative Measures and Peace of Mind
Regular cancer screenings not only help detect existing cancers but also promote preventive care. For example, removing pre-cancerous growths, such as polyps in the colon, can prevent the development of colon cancer. Additionally, knowing your health status through regular screenings can provide peace of mind and reduce anxiety, allowing you to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Yay! Good news for people who can't tolerate pap smears!
"On Tuesday, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issued its draft guidelines for the screening of cervical cancer in the U.S. The most notable difference will be recommending that women ages 30 to 65 only need to get tested for high-risk strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) every five years, rather than needing to get pap smears every three years... Additionally, the USPTF has determined that self-collected HPV tests are just as valid for screening as those performed by a healthcare professional."

Vaccinations and Preventive Care: Staying Healthy Throughout Your Life
Tumblr media
Healthy living brings about the well-being to lead life to its fullest. Vaccinations and preventive care are very much part of safeguarding our health. They keep away most diseases, reduce the risks of infections, and help in saving lives. In the blog below, the importance of vaccinations and preventive care at different stages in life will be elaborated on.
What is Preventive Care?
Preventive care is the step taken to avoid illness or injury. It includes regular check-ups, screening, and inoculation. The services enable the early detection of health issues while still treatable. Therefore, preventive care emphasises the maintenance of your health and keeping you well for a longer time.
The Role of Vaccinations
Vaccination is one of the key preventive care elements. Vaccines keep diseases that may be able to hurt individuals at bay by boosting the immune response. An example is the measles, polio, and flu vaccines, which have saved millions of lives. They also stop contagious diseases from spreading within the community.
Additionally, vaccinations are safe and very effective for all people. Most diseases are prevented with the help of these vaccinations, from birth to adulthood. Vaccines are necessary for children for long-term health care, and as adults, boost immunity through booster shots.
Vaccines Throughout Life
In Childhood: Children should be vaccinated following the recommended schedule. The vaccines also give early protection by vaccines like DTP, for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. Others include MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), which prevents some of the severe childhood diseases.
In Adulthood: Just as soon as children become adults, they need flu shots among many others. Flu vaccines reduce the chances of getting the flu. Furthermore, the HPV vaccine prevents cancers resulting from the human papillomavirus. A Best General Physician doctor in Vadodara can review what vaccines are required through routine check-ups.
In Older Age: Older adults may also require some other vaccines. For example, the shingles vaccine prevents some painful rashes that appear on the skin. Additionally, pneumococcal vaccines prevent pneumonia, a life-threatening infection occurring later in life. Regular visits to an Internal medicine specialist Baroda are vital in making such discussions.
Why is Preventive Care Important?
Preventive care sets the clock running early to detect health issues. Most diseases do not begin showing symptoms until they are almost fatal. Problems can be identified when they are still minor through regular screening for blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes.
Moreover, preventive care further encourages healthy living behaviours such as exercise and healthy eating. Such lifestyle changes can improve health outcomes in the long term. This approach diminishes many emergency treatments or visits to intensive care unit hospital, which can be both costly and difficult to overcome after a visit.
Regular Health Check-Ups
Preventive care requires regular health check-ups. Health progress can be monitored by visiting the doctor regularly. Tests that will be decided by your age, gender, and medical history are recommended by your doctor. Among these are blood work, cancer screenings, and heart health checks.
Therefore, relationship-building with a healthcare provider is necessary because they can understand one’s health history and care accordingly.
Healthy Lifestyle Choices
Besides vaccines and regular check-ups, a healthy lifestyle is crucial. A well-balanced diet and exercise, as well as abstinence from smoking, may contribute to health. A healthy lifestyle strengthens your immune system and facilitates combating illness.
Additionally, getting enough sleep and managing stress also play a role. All these ensure that your body is in good condition to fight off diseases.
Preventive Care in Different Stages of Life
Childhood: Preventive care during childhood includes vaccines, a healthy growth curve, and development. Paediatricians ensure immunizations. They see that children are at the right developmental stage, and they take time to discuss healthy nutrition and exercise habits.
Adult Life: When it comes to adulthood, preventive care is centred on a healthy lifestyle. These are maintaining minimal stress and getting regular physical examinations as well as screenings for chronic conditions. However, adults must also ensure that they stay abreast of their vaccination, and regularly visit their doctor for any emerging concerns.
Older Age: As people age, prevention care will be even more important. Regular physician visits help identify any issues stemming from the ageing process earlier. Moreover, continuing to manage chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes is also essential. The vaccinations further reduce the risk of health through attacks by the pneumonia and flu bugs as shown below.
Conclusion
Preventive care and vaccinations are a major part of healthy life. The frequent screening, and keeping updated with vaccinations prevent many health risks. Through preventive care, you can significantly lower the potential to develop severe illnesses that will haunt you throughout the years. Therefore, it’s always best to consult medical professionals to receive the best possible care. Be it the Internal medicine specialist in Baroda or the Best General Physician doctor in Vadodara, they are sure to guide you on track with vaccinations and preventive care.
