Oral Vitamin D3: You do not need injections. Take vitamin D3 pills. Take 2000 to 4000 units per day. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
