And out of 10 million girls, 8 million WILL get HPV.

Hey doc. Any chance we could get a source for your outrageously high 80% infection rate stat? I'm no MD, but I do happen to be a statistician and would like the opportunity to examine the scientific validity of the unsourced HPV infection rate statistics that are being tossed out by people like you on this thread.

Specifically, where did they take that sample from? When did they take it? How was the diagnosis made? Was it representative of the general U.S. population? How many participated? What percentage of respondents were sexually active outside of wedlock? I look forward to your response.

I noticed you didn't get a response on this post. Too bad, I was interested in where this was going....Anybody can throw out numbers, very few can back them up with facts.
