All types of HPV can cause mild Pap test abnormalities which do not have serious consequences. Approximately 10 of the 30 identified genital HPV types can lead, in rare cases, to development of cervical cancer. Research has shown that for most women (90 percent), cervical HPV infection becomes undetectable within two years. Although only a small proportion of women have persistent infection, persistent infection with "high-risk" types of HPV is the main risk factor for cervical cancer.
A Pap test can detect pre-cancerous and cancerous cells on the cervix. Regular Pap testing and careful medical follow-up, with treatment if necessary, can help ensure that pre-cancerous changes in the cervix caused by HPV infection do not develop into life threatening cervical cancer.
The Pap test used in U.S. cervical cancer screening programs is responsible for greatly reducing deaths from cervical cancer. For 2004, the American Cancer Society estimates that about 10,520 women will develop invasive cervical cancer and about 3,900 women will die from this disease. Most women who develop invasive cervical cancer have not had regular cervical cancer screening.
There are links at the bottom of the page for those wanting to look up more information to dispell the gardisol myths.
I greatly appreciate your input. That some ppl here would just swallow, hook line and sinker, what these creatures are spoon-feeding is beyond me.
The trials are inconclusive and not nearly extensive enough. Up to 80% of the test groups had pain from the injection and the other side effects weren't nice, either. And, keep in mind that the test group women were 16-26, not at all like 11 and 12 year old girls.
This is a collective mindrape.
Over half of sexually active men in the United States (U.S.) will have HPV at some time in their lives.
About 1% of sexually active men in the U.S. have genital warts at any one time.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that about 1,530 men will be diagnosed with penile cancer in the U.S. in 2006. In this country, penile cancer accounts for about 0.2% of all cancers in men. It is especially rare in circumcised men.
ACS estimates that about 1,910 men will be diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. The risk for anal cancer is 17 times higher among gay and bisexual men than among heterosexual men. The risk is also higher among men with compromised immune systems, including those with HIV.

And yet, no vaccine for boys. Striking.

So good I'm posting it again. If this were about containing disease, why are the boys not included??????????
