This study proves that HPV is so contageous that even when condoms are used, women who have sex with a male who carries HPV will get infected anyway in over 30 percent of the cases studied.
Having sex with random people is not like driving a car on a two-lane road. Condoms are not sexual seat belts for the simple matter that people can practice "defensive driving" and lagely avoid accidents before the fact. If people practiced "defensive copulation", they would not copulate with people who were not monogamous. This study proves the only way for a woman to assure herself that she will not get HPV is only to copulate with a male who has never been infected.
So, I take it from your comment that women get HPV from men, and not the other way around?
Those nasty dirty boys wouldn't be able to spread those diseases around if they didn't have willing female partners who incubate and keep these diseases warm and ready to spread to their next partner.
I thought the same thing. Funny this comes on the heels of the HPV vaccine news.
It's all "go out and have some fun." No matter how young you are. Condoms will solve it all. Even if there were no sexually transmitted diseases, most women aren't psychologically built to be having sex with every male that comes along. It's not good for the health of the individual. It's not good for the health of the U.S.
70% is NOT "highly effective" if the availability of condoms increases sexual activity. Condom availability surely raises the incidence of HPV.
Let's see now. Condoms are 70 percent effective. Using the same logic, random chance is 83 percent effective in preventing death from Russian Roulette using a six shooter.
(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")
Like playing Russian roulette with 2 bullets in the cylinder.
Hit me too, that a 30% failure rate is something to crow about? Does that 30% failure rate apply to men also? ...And what if... I do believe years ago, regarding condoms and the size of viri, that it was determined condoms were not exactly perfect in stopping the spread of HIV. The center for disease control and P R E V E N T I O N located in Atlanta GA has some very enlightening PC comments vis-a-vis their supposed mandate. I'm not sure if the courts had a hand in the direction they took, but the handling of HIV after the method of transmission was known, in my opinion, was worthy of having the organization disbanded. The P in prevention appeared to mean P in PC.

About the CDC
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is one of the 13 major operating components of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which is the principal agency in the United States government for protecting the health and safety of all Americans and for providing essential human services, especially for those people who are least able to help themselves.
Since it was founded in 1946 to help control malaria, CDC has remained at the forefront of public health efforts to prevent and control infectious and chronic diseases, injuries, workplace hazards, disabilities, and environmental health threats. Today, CDC is globally recognized for conducting research and investigations and for its action oriented approach. CDC applies research and findings to improve people’s daily lives and responds to health emergencies—something that distinguishes CDC from its peer agencies.
CDC is committed to achieving true improvements in people’s health. To do this, the agency is defining specific health impact goals to prioritize and focus its work and investments and measure progress.

Since when has it become settled science that the HPV causes cancer? It was considered to be an indicator, not a causative factor before, was it not?
It's a nice breather from "ya can still get sick with condoms".
I think it means that if you are in a monogamous relationship with someone who has been exposed to HPV, then this is one way to help limit your exposure.
Condom use will reduce the probability of infection, but it sure won't eliminate it. Since 99% of cervical cancers are the result of HPV, it's a VERY good reason for women to wait until marriage, and to get their future spouse tested before the wedding.
Most MSM and the medical profession do not mention that HPV, Herpes, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphllis, and possibly more are found in the eye. Would cause conjunctivitis on the surface of the white of the eye.
HPV and Herpes have also been found in the nose. Did a search using terms like “manual-genital”, autoinoculation, “mucous membrane”, nasal, “hand to eye”, and “ocular OR eye” along with the name of the STD. Some are from the CDC. Few are in terms that most people esp. teens would understand.
The HPV numbers included in sinonasal inverted papillomas are, “HPV 6/11-positive was present in 41% & HPV 16/18-positive was present in 31%.” Found this on PubMed - Increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and 9 and human papilloma virus infection are associated with malignant transformation of sinonasal inverted papilloma.

STDs can be picked up by feeling up the other or self or while putting on or taking off a condom and then touching an openning in the body i. e. eye, inside of nose, inside of mouth, cut, etc. Ever hear sex ed classes telling people to wash their hands?

The CDC and other sources on the internet state that long term use of oral contraceptives, that is the birth control pill, increases their risk of cervical cancer by 400 to 800 percent if you also have HPV.
1 in 300 with Chlamydia also have this in their eye.
According to data published in the journal Archives of Ophthalmology, herpes simplex keratitis affects up to 500,000 people in the United States. Yearly, ocular herpes simplex virus is estimated to affect approximately 50,000 people in the United States, arising as acute primary disease in 20,000 people and as recurrent disease in an additional 28,000.
True education is needed on the failure rate of condoms and the wonders of contraceptives.
