\nChallenge your cervix to a screening
\n<\/i>If you have been gifted with a cervix, the Island Sexual Health Society wants you to give it the attention it deserves.

The clinic is a non-profit organization providing vital services for anyone without a family doctor, so they are also encouraging donations. Info at islandsexualhealth.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
