I think we will learn that viruses are probably the #1 cause for many chronic and acute conditons we once thought were idiopathic.
Unfortunately HPV is a tough virus to attack. My colleagues in viral research say that the retroviruses (HIV) are relatively easy to confront. Bad news as, indeed, many diseases may have a virus as the primary etiological basis. Good news is that as these diseases are identified the priority of fighting HPV will increase and research funding will rise accordingly.
