You have vary valid points. Especially regarding the use of vaccinations overall. One main issue I do see is the contracting of HPV (one of the four strains it covers to REDUCE the risk) and the development of cervical cancer later in life. Their research is far from overall use--what about a 30 y/o with a negative test and was in a monogamous relationship/marriage and recently divorced. Why are they denied.

Any time any medication is introduced into a body there are risks...look at the live polio vaccinations. Why give kids mandatory C. pox vaccinations? let them get is as kids. The main risk is to adults which have no immunity and develop an outbreak causing ARDS. I fell in the group which received the MMR shots which were ineffective. They were later recalled when found a outbreak and all had to be tested, people in my age group also did not have immunity--antibodies upon testing. We had to be taken out of work when one patient entered due to risk. They reattempted to vaccinate us, did not hold, and I did have a mild case of Measles & Mumps...the best guess was due to a bad batch destroyed the antibody/antigen reaction.

Early on in life had severe dysplasia, 13 y/o, not sexually active. Developed to requiring surgical & biopsy intervention. No HPV ever. This PAP? Positive for dysplasia no detectable HPV...

I think the adds are helpful getting information out there since HPV is rampant and people do not practice safe sex. Mandatory STD testing should be done regardless of any "history".

I test regularly. Why? I was stuck by another Nurse who just drew blood from a HIV [active] patient who was an IVDA...fresh blood and penetration deep in my hand. Tied it off w/a tourniquet and bleed it out, and submerged it in bleach. This was prior to any meds for those stuck or put at risk. That was 1987...I am still seronegative.

I believe people need to make informed choices and through adds is one way to create pubic awareness. All drug co.'s do similar practices & lobby. The question is does the benefit out weigh the risks???
