Book Description
This important book explains one of the most dangerous, yet relatively unknown, sexually transmitted diseases-human papillomavirus (HPV), the primary cause of cervical cancer. Written by a leading expert in pathology, Women at Risk demystifies the disorders caused by HPV that affect cervical health, including genital warts, cervical dysplasia, and cancer. It discusses the importance of the Pap smear for detecting the virus, advises on what to do if your results are abnormal, and provides information on holistic therapies for prevention and treatment of HPV infection. Helpful facts on how HPV affects men and children is also included.
For women of all ages, but especially those who are sexually active and of childbearing age, this book will arm readers with the information they need to take charge of their reproductive health. |

Ahead of its time 
I've seen signs up in my local lab (when I went for blood tests) about the HPV virus. I'm guessing there are a lot of educational intitiatives out there. It's about time! Henderson, Yasgur and Warshowsky were out there educating women a couple of years ago. This is a really readable book and very informative. I hope that when women see the sign hanging in their labs, they'll turn to this book for information.

STILL THE BEST BOOK OUT THERE ON HPV
Since the publication of this book, a spate of new books have come out discussing the HPV virus. It's great that this little-known condition has finally received some publicity! However, I would have to say that I still think this is the most reader-friendly and focused book around. I highly recommend it, and I give it to all my clients and patients who come in with the HPV virus. I hope that Henderson, Yasgur and co. publish more books on other medical topics.

Extremely informative
For women who take the extra steps to understand and take responsibility for their own bodies (and their daughters'), this book is another Must Read. Since women bear the brunt of consequences for most STD's, as well as other reproductive issues, it pays to be as informed as possible. Dr.Dr. Henderson and company are to be commended for bringing this particular issue into the light and to the popular consciousness.

THIS IS A VERY HELPFUL BOOK
I want to tell people that I think this is a great book, but I don't think I can add anything original over what the other reviewers have already said. This is definitely clear and helpful and I've recommended it to a lot of friends. Kudos to all the authors, especially Warshowsky and his holistic chapter.

A real eye-opener
Dr. Henderson opened up my eyes to a major health problem in this country today--the HPV virus. I learned what it is, how it can be prevented, and how it can be treated. I was especially appreciative of Dr. Warshowsky's tips about holistic approaches, as I prefer to avoid medications and such whenever possible. I have three daughters in their teens and I have sat them down and talked to them about the virus. I asked them to read this book. The book, by the way, is very easy to read and they should have no problem understanding it. But I never felt "talked down to" by the authors either. I think every woman and teenager should read this!
