Cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus 16 and 18
and is a preventable disease if detected early enough. But many low-income
communities in Latin America do not have access to early detection programs to
diagnose abnormalities. A study conducted by University of Michigan found that
the low income and ingenious communities who lack access to a hospital might
have another option to get screened. The studied population of Guatemalans have
less than 40% of women getting screened for cervical cancer. A common method
for screening is getting a pap smear but this requires traveling to a hospital
multiple times which may not be feasible for Guatemalan women particularly the
community of Santiago Atitlan which was focused on in the study. Thus the
researchers developed an alternative testing method, a self-collection. The
participants self test and send in the sample. 79% of the participants found
the test comfortable and 100% said they would perform the test routinely. This
was promising as self testing may be the answer to increasing screening of
vulnerable populations regarding HPV.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
