That's probably because boys can't get cervical cancer.

But they carry the virus. And if they're sexual profligates, will give it out liberally to every girl they shag. Trust me, it's only a matter of time before Nanny Perry mandates this for boys as well.

Not until Merck completes the male testing and gets FDA approval, and that's well more than 5-7 years away.

I don't know all the ways HPV can be transmitted, but vaccines are far more cost-effective than treating the disease it prevents.

It apparently results in a worse, and potentially fatal, outcome for females. What woman wouldn't want the vaccine? Even a virgin until marriage ought to have the protection, if it's only contagious by sex, unless she knows her husband doesn't have the virus.

The main thing wrong here that I see is that they should have made a vaccine for the boys first.

If readers read the whole thing - there is a opt-out. I will be studying it.
