I was made known of the human papillomavirus (HPV) a few years ago, when I went for my regular PAP smear test with my gynecologist. That PAP smear came out to be inconclusive and I had to do another PAP smear three months later. During the three months, I was really scared that I might [...]

My friend have been tested positive of H1N1 swine flu virus.
I am quite worried that I might get it myself, but it has been 4 days since I came in contact with him, so I have decided to self quarantine myself at home for the next 3 days to monitor my health. This means I [...]
