1. If you have a cervix, keep it healthy. Here's how:

    * If you're between 9 and 26, you can get vaccinated against most forms of HPV.
    * Beginning at age 21, or within 3 years of your first sexual activity, you should get Pap tests every year (even if you've    been vaccinated).
    * Get HPV tests when recommended.
    * Using condoms, gloves, and other barriers during sex can significantly reduce – but not eliminate - your risk of transmitting HPV and other infections.
    * Visit http://www.checkitoutguys.ca for more info on cervical health for trans men.
