Dr. Sandra Fryhofer - Your Health Matters - Preventing HPV

HPV – Human Papilloma Virus – causes trouble above and below the belt.

Nearly all sexually active women and men will be infected at some point. 90% of those infections will go away, destroyed by the body’s defenses.

But when the virus persists, cancer’s a concern.

Your Health Matters with Dr. Sandra Fryhofer is a weekly series offering useful and timely information on health and well-being.

Sandra Adamson Fryhofer, MD, MACP, FRCP is a board certified doctor of internal medicine in Atlanta and Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine. She is on staff at Piedmont Hospital.
