We've been talking about Gardasil and Cerverix a lot recently. Sure, lots of parents are reluctant to vaccinate their children before they become teenagers, but a nationwide study reveals that 50% of black teenagers and 20% of white teenagers have at least one STD. The specific age ranges are fourteen to nineteen. And what is the most common infection out there? Shocker of shockers, it's HPV

CNN that studies on Gardasil in boys should be completed this year, and it hopes to have the vaccine approved and available to young men as early as next year, likely for 16-to 23-year-olds - in the form of the same series of three shots that young women now receive.

Two years later, cervical cancer vaccine is still an emotional battlefield.

DanyC submitted, created time 10 months 1 day (edition.cnn.com)

The HPV vaccine has been available to the public for almost two years, and moms also want their daughters to get the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine when they go to see their doctor, but mothers can't win over their daughters.
"I don't want to." "Well, sorry. You have to." There is still an emotional battlefield to the HPV vaccine. Another, the hitch is that the vaccine is suggested for adolescent girls, but the viruses in question are sexually transmitted. And that is one of the big reasons the HPV vaccine has divided parents in the question of "to give or not to give."

Why are there no boys in the Gardasil commercial?

Although I knew that it was possible to give the anti-HPV vaccine to boys (it would protect them from getting genital warts in addition to making them less likely to give the cervical-cancer-causing virus to any female partners) I have to admit, the question didn't occur to me. Usually, drug companies are so eager to market their wares to as many people as possible, but there is a real dearth of pro-male HPV vaccine advertising out there.

Nearly 5,000 families will seek to convince a special “vaccine court” in Washington that the vaccines can cause healthy children to withdraw into uncommunicative, autistic shells — even though a large body of evidence and expert opinion has found no link. The court has never heard a case of such magnitude.

HPV Linked to Throat Cancer

Oral sex seemed to be the main mode of transmission for oral HPV, although the researchers note that transmission from mouth to mouth contact couldn't be excluded. The new study shows that oral HPV infection is linked to head and neck cancer regardless of two other known risk factors: heavy tobacco and alcohol use.But longtime HPV researcher Maura L. Gillison, MD, PhD, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, says the findings should not be seen as cause for undue alarm.

Apoorva Mandavilli on hype and the the HPV vaccine

Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (www.nature.com)

Most of Ms. Mandavilli's opinion piece on the HPV vaccine is straight-up good sense: "We don't know how long its effects will last yet." "It's being touted, perhaps beyond its worth." She points out a few of the vaccine's less-publicized flaws, namely that it doesn't do much for women who have been sexually active before receiving it. But I worry that opponents of the vaccine could take her words the wrong way, particularly, "We don't know how well it works

While about eighteen US states have considered or are considering making HPV vaccination mandatory for young female students, New Hampshire has tried another tack: The state has made the vaccine available free of charge to girls between the ages of eleven and eighteen, offered on a highest-risk-first-served basis whenever supplies grow short.

The program has been highly successful, showing a huge turnout. “We usually have to bust our hump every September to convince people to get their flu shots,” the article quotes Greg Moore of the Health and Human Services Department

While the HPV vaccine is being touted by many as one of the greatest breakthroughs in cancer prevention, some public-health experts are concerned that the rush to mandate the vaccine could backfire.

Texas legislature blocks mandatory HPV vaccination

The Texas legislature has overruled Governor Perry's decree that all sixth-grade (about eleven years old) girls in Texas must be vaccinated with the HPV vaccine. This ruling does not in any way ban vaccination; it only says that the governor may not require it. Also, the ruling will only be in force for four years. Unless it is renewed, the governor of Texas may revisit the idea of mandatory HPV vaccinations in 2011

Dare you try this ? Dismayful Vaccine!

Health experts are dismayed by the controversy over Merck's Gardasil, which protects against two common forms of the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer. But it has hardly surprised them.

A report released this week by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that one in four U.S. women ages 14 to 59 is infected with HPV, which kills 10 women a day nationwide.

Texas requires HPV vaccination in middle school girls

Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 11 months (www.nytimes.com)

Texas, one of the most conservative states in the U.S., has passed a bill requiring all middle-school girls to show proof of HPV vaccination. Overall, I think this is a good move. As with the move in Colorado, parents will have the option of opting out, so this doesn't take medical decision-making out of the family's own hands. I still think that too many people think that this vaccine will cause or exacerbate promiscuity, but this is probably the best way to prove them wrong. Now let's all watch these Texas girls grow up with a lower rate of cancer and an identical rate of premarital sex
