To create a shower floor from scratch we use what is commonly referred to as âdry pack mortarâ or deck mud. Deck mud contains three ingredients: regular portland cement, sand, and water. Thatâs it. Donât let anyone tell you that a latex additive or anything else is necessary. It is not.
HPV in Women. Human papillomavirus (HPV) occurs quite frequently in women -- in fact, it's one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. While infection with HPV may not cause symptoms in many cases, the presence of genital warts is a sure sign of infection.
HPV is one of the most common STDs among sexually active young people. The CDC estimates that 20 million people in the US are infected with HPV 16 and that every year, there are about 5.5 million new infections. A study by the CDC on prevalence of HPV 16 in the US showed that the prevalence of HPV-16 was at least two-fold higher in women compared to men. Women of all races had an HPV-16 prevalence of 17.9 percent, compared to 8 percent for men.
