Cervical cancer and HIV—two diseases, one response

Cervical cancer and HIV—two diseases, one response: Cervical cancer—an illness that can be prevented by vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV) and that is curable if detected and treated early—is developed by more than 500 000 women each year, half of whom die of the disease.

BY MOSES MUWULYA It is always joy when parents expect and finally get a baby. While this was the case, after God blessing us with a bouncing baby girl, on 10 March 2013, our joy barely lasted two hours. It was replaced with worry, tension and anxiety after the baby refused to breast feed from day one. Her kind of deformed gum was too big to allow the nipple penetrate into her mouth to allow her suckle. We came to realize that she din’t even cry upon her delivery, as the norm is said to be.

But I was acoustic that this was common among infants, but even...
