Sexually active people and those with multiple sex partners have been urged to seek cancer vaccination to avoid contracting Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which could cause cancer. The Kiambu Level Five Hospital Superintendent Jesse Ngugi said HPV is a virus that is common among the sexually active population affecting mostly people between the ages of 20-49 years of age. To prevent infecting their female partners, vaccination is the solution,” Ngugi explained. However, he stresses that lifestyle increases the rate at which the virus causing cancer develops. Alcohol causes liver cancer and once the symptoms are exposed, the cancer is advanced,” he warns.
