Produktbeschreibung

Human Papillomavirus infections has currently become a global challenge especially among the young adults. This has been postulated to be due to lack of vital knowledge about HPV infection in all aspects among the youth. This book therefore focuses on the gaps in knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP)of students in health related courses towards Human Papillomavirus among the University students in health related courses. Students taking health science related courses are always in constant contact with patients in either hospital setting or in homes and it is therefore important for them to have a clear understanding of certain infectious diseases like HPV. The book shades light on KAP towards STI's among the university students and broaden the understanding of various infections that can be harmful to their health. Health literacy is a key tool that can increase empowerment on sexual health and is vital to increasing the public ability to prevent further spread of HPV, hence acquiring good practices.
