The gov’t should subsidize the vaccine for this disease, even the Pap smears so that poor families could avail of such protection. (Wishful thinking right?)

Plus, more and more awareness about this disease would be achieved through a reproductive health classes. Then again, there’s a whole new debate for on this one, sadly though, about its morality not and its contents! Damn religion!

I’ve seen the very same photo last year or last semester in our Pathology class. Dreadful disease if I may say.

That’s why I believe we must encourage young girls and women to get the vaccine. But I heard that several were against it not because they think it wouldn’t work, but because they have to explain what the virus is, how does one get it, and there goes the long follow-up questions on sex, hardly something that prudes want to discuss with young girls. And maybe they don’t believe young girls could really get sick of it. Or that it only encourage sexual promiscuity. Whatever. I don’t quite understand that kind of mentality.

The vaccine does not protect against all HPVs, but at least, one can be protected from some types. For more information on the vaccine, see CDC page at http://www.cdc.gov/std/Hpv/STDFact-HPV-vaccine.htm
