I agree with you, but I want to make this one point: A faithful wife can be afflicted with HPV-related cervical cancer if her husband is unfaithful.
And then there are women with cervical cancer that isn’t HPV-related.
I knew a faithful, beautiful young Christian mother the world lost to this disease. So, I wouldn’t want anyone out there who’s reading to think that cervical cancer means the woman was not living a chaste life. I’m sure you’d agree. Thanks and goodnight.
Of course I agree, and you are correct. Your post is the reason that I get my regularly scheduled pap smear as recommended by my doctor, and I would encourage all women to do so.
According to the CDC 90 percent of cervical cancer is caused by HPV. This still leaves 10 percent that are not prevented by a monogamous marital relationship or the HPV vaccine. The reason why women should always still get a PAP smear regardless of their sexual habits or their vaccine status.
I do believe that parents have reason and a right to be cautious when new medications are offered to their children, and I do not believe the government should mandate HPV vaccine for children, it should be at their parent’s discretion.
