The research I posted says that virgins daughters of HPV positive mothers have a risk level that is undetermined.

That makes it a communicable disease outside of human contact.

In other words, we must be careful placing a moral evaluation on HPV infection.

The same with male partners being unwitting carriers for years and then marrying. A woman could be totally innocent of any appropriate behavior and still become HPV positive.

I agree completely.

However, as you noted, your data was about girls whose mothers had HPV.

As far as married women, that is different in that we are talking about adult women deciding for themselves what to do.

The fact is that NOBODY knows what the effects of Gardasil are a decade or so out. This drug is given to young women at a time when their reproductive systems are developing. NOBODY can say that there won't be problems in a decade when they want to have children.

Additionally, I worry that this vaccine may give a lot of young women a false sense of security. Keep in mind that STD rates among young people didn't really begin to skyrocket until AFTER everyone started talking about condoms and "safe sex."
