This will protect against a good many strains of HPV but not all.

Not all, just the strains that cause 70% of cervical cancer cases. That's not insignificant.

Getting this virus is absolutely preventable.

The only surefire way to prevent HPV is to join a nunnery.

40 years ago most cervical cancers were not caused by HPV.

That's just nonsense. This is your field?

Yes, this is my field. When I went into this field the description of an altered cell with the name 'koilocytotic atypia' was fairly new. Those cells are now recognized as HPV.
