“…4 HPV infection tends to be asymptomatic but may manifest as genital warts in both men and women or as cervical cancer in women. Approximately 1% of the sexually active population in the United States aged 15 to 49 years has genital warts 5 ; researchers [6][7][8] in both the United States and Europe suggest that the highest incidence of genital warts is among men and women aged 20 to 24 years. Approximately 500,000 new cases of cervical cancer occur each year worldwide, 260,000 of which are fatal.…”

This study compared perceptions of sexual risk and sexual practices among youth in Kenya and Sweden. Self-generated questions on the body, perceptions of sexual risk and sexual practices were collected in Kenya while focus group discussions and individual interviews on these same issues were used in Sweden. The most striking differences between the two countries were in the level of knowledge on matters of sexuality and the ability to talk with ease on these matters. The refusal in Kenya to provide adolescents with information and services has left the 'safe period' as their only protective option and pregnancy as the overriding concern. Communication at the partner level and lack of condom use are problematic in both countries and even where access to information and preventive services exist, these may not be used optimally. In both countries, boys had more sexual freedom, while girls were controlled through lobelling and rumours, and girls were assigned responsibility for safer sex. We conclude that sexual education should be based more broadly on an understanding of the social norms defining sexual behaviour. It is at the level ofsexual relations that the tensions between culturally-defined sexual and gender norms and public health assumptions should be addressed, a level at which health policy and education are silent in both countries.Keywords: adolescents, safer sex, unwanted pregnancy, STDs, HIV/AIDS, Sweden, Kenya T HE decision to carry out a comparative study was initially motivated by the urgent need to find ways to halt HIV/AIDS transmission in Kenya. The comparison with Sweden aimed to explore whether liberal attitudes permit more open discussion of sexual matters and the impact of such openness on sexual practices. We sought to find out what it means for girls and boys to live in a society with publicly prohibitive attitudes as compared to a social environment with more liberal attitudes. Adolescent sexuality in Kenya and SwedenAdolescents in Kenya live within a prohibitive sexual moral regime, with virtually no access to information or preventive services.' Contrary to emerging evidence2 it is believed that sexual education would lead to sexual experimentation, and any suggestion to introduce sexual education in schools has met with strong public protest. In 1997, the Kenya Government, partly due to pressure from religious institutions and the anticipation of winning a national election, shelved a sessional paper on family life education, which would have introduced sex education in schools.3 The Catholic Bishops have oganised public burning of condoms and sexual education materials in various parts of the country.4 Other Christian denominations prohibit condom use, especially outside marriage.5T6 Yet, the adolescent sexual and reproductive health scenario includes high rates of premarital pregnancy, induced abortion, school drop-out, STDs and HIV, suggesting that young people engage in unprotected sexual activity 26 espite moral prohibitions, with devastating rmsequences, especially for girls.

Abstract: Women more often than men had a mixture of exo- and endophytic condylomata. Condyloma as another and complementary indicator of changing sexual behavior deserves further interest.
