Here is another point for your well written list.

9) Having one of these strains of HPV means a religious dedication to quarterly OB GYN checkups costing a couple hundred a visit, even if a young, childless woman. The operation to remove a possibly cancerous polyp from the cervix due to these strains of HPV is a procedure where a doctor enters vaginally and uses a device to remove and cauterize the affected area of the cervix. The procedure costs in the neighborhood of $4,000, require anestesia, takes a day in the hospital plus recovery time nearing a week, does not gurantee that you won’t be repeating said procedure many times in the future, creates a long period of time where spotting and other menstrual issues do occur.

I don’t know of any OB/GYN who recommends quarterly pap smears for anyone except hookers.
