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.

That's fine. It's your opinion. But are you telling me you're comfortable with mandating that EVERY teenage girl must get it? I'm not.
