Should I Getting Vaccinated For The HPV Vaccine?
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
The Human Papilloma Virus, or HPV, is a common sexually transmitted infection. It has been estimated that fifty percent of sexually active adults in the United States will contract HPV at some point in their lives. As many as 80% of women will have been exposed to the virus by the time they reach the age of fifty. Strains of the virus have been found to cause genital warts, as well as cervical cancer. Fortunately, since 2006, there has been an HPV vaccine available for girls and young women.
