| Topic | Actress's anal cancer linked to her husband (PSA announcement) |
| Trialia 06/07/19 5:39:25 AM #30: | Here in the UK it's become pretty much routine to offer girls the HPV vaccine, usually done through their secondary school at age 12, without charge - the NHS usually absorb all the costs of any kind of medical treatment for anyone 16 or under, or up to 19 if still in full-time education. (The routine alters slightly for trans people, of course, but usually if you have a vag you'll be offered it whatever your gender identity). Most people in this country with vaginas at least know HPV can cause cervical cancer, & we get routinely tested for it during Pap smears (we just call them "smear tests" here) every 3 to 5 years (they alter the frequency of reminders based on age as it's a lot less likely you'll get certain kinds of gynaecological cancers after menopause). We don't have to pay for those either. There are reasons our childhood and maternal mortality rates are so much lower than those in the US, and this is one of them. :( --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) ...
