Someone You Love: The HPV Epidemic is such a powerful documentary, I truly believe everyone should see it! Are you local to Indianapolis? You are in luck! As part of the cervical cancer awareness initiative Butler University is hosting a free public screening of the SYL documentary. Along with the documentary, there will be a panel of experts in attendance for a Q&A session after the viewing. Panelists will include Butler’s own Dr. Maria Fletcher, Physician at Butler University Health Services and Dr. Gregory Zimet, Professor of Pediatrics and Clinical Psychology at Indiana University School of Medicine and Co-Director of the IUPUI Center for HPV Research along with myself, local Cervivor Ambassador. That's right, I will be on the panel and ready to answer your questions! We will even have a table setup for Cervivor where you can meet fellow Cervivor Ambassador, Melissa Beeson.
HPV may be the most widespread, misunderstood and potentially dangerous epidemic that most people hardly know anything about. 80 percent of all people under 50 years of age will have a strain of the virus at some point in their lives and most will not even realize they have it.
Q. Why should I go and see Someone You Love?
A. Someone You Love is an amazing documentary which is designed to bring the HPV epidemic to the surface! It is estimated that 80% of all people, under 50 years of age will have a strain of the virus at some point during their lives! That is right. Take a look at any group of ten people and eight of them will contract a strain of HPV at some point during his/her life!
Q. Why should I care about HPV?
A. HPV is linked to the majority of cervical cancer cases, in addition to vaginal, vulvar, anal, throat, and penile cancers. This virus does not discriminate and can impact your life!
