**3.3 Knowledge of relative suffering or have suffered from any HPV-related cancers**

As cervical cancer had earlier been indicated as the second most prevalent type of cancer suffered by women in developing countries [19] and with the nature of HPV infection as indicated in [15], we tried to have the knowledge of participants with relatives suffering or have suffered HPV-related cancers. On the question, do you have a family member, friend, or relative suffering or has suffered from cancer that HPV is one of its causes? Data from this survey question indicated that only 15 people have either friends, relatives, or family members suffering or have suffered HPV-related cancer while 93 (P-Value = 0.000 < 5%) people have not had such experience and 3 were not sure (**Figure 3**). This figure shows that although most participants are aware of HPV infection as well as other types of cancer, they do not have many relatives affected by HPV-related cancer. Financial burden of these HPV cancers sickness was also included in the survey question. Results indicated that 15 participants showed bad financial effects/burdens on them due to these HPV cancers while 39 showed neutral burden over the HPV cancer sickness. No participant indicated the financial burden to have a good effect (figure not shown).

#### **3.4 Use of herbal products for any purpose**

Question to find out if participants have in any way used herbal or plant medicinal products for any purpose showed that 63 participants know and have used herbal products for one purpose or the other. A total of 43 participants indicated that they have never employed herbal products for any purpose while 6 participants were not sure if they have (**Figure 4**). The majority of participants demonstrated that they have already used herbal products for their health.
