i looked this up:
About 79 million Americans are currently infected with HPV. About 14 million people become newly infected each year. HPV is so common that most sexually-active men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives.
Every year, approximately 17,600 women and 9,300 men are affected by cancers caused by HPV.
(mostly cervical cancer in women)
If only we could determine WHY! (Sarc tag needed?)
Since they’re mandating HPV inoculations now, I’m assuming this plague will go away eventually - after millions of homosexuals croak.
