The Logic of HPV

The Logic of HPV
If I want to peanut butter and jelly I go to the cabinet and get the bread, peanut butter, and go to the refrigerator and get the jelly. Now that brings back so many memories as well how disappointed I was when there was not any jelly. My mom forgot to pick up some jelly or my brother used the last of the jelly and decided not to tell anyone. At the end of the day I will not have my coveted sandwich. The vaccine HPV is currently marketed to young women as a way to prevent cervical cancer….One less as the ad proclaims. That is important as well if there was a vaccine to prevent breast cancer many parents would offer this vaccine to their sons and daughters because it effects us all. The controversy surrounding this vaccine is the ideology of pre-marital sex and particularly young women. If the young lady decides to have sex she is considered “protected” from cervical cancer or at least she has received preventable care. The fact is in order to have sex a partner is needed. True the young lady may become a lesbian so what are her worries…..that is not of issue the premise is that men induce the likely hood of a women developing cervical cancer. So why are boys not vaccinated. If this is a sexually transmitted disease why not offer the vaccine to all of the actors involve. The reality is that some boy may become sexually active while some will not. The reality is some girls may become sexually active and some will not. As well even though the marketing was directed at women I wonder how many people question the motive of the pharmaceutical company. The boys were left out. It is said in 2009 boys will begin receiving this vaccine, the question are parents willing to protect only their daughters and if so how protected are they if their future lover is not vaccinated.
