How many parents are willing to submit their young, presumably virgin, daughters to gynecological exams? Is there another way to "catch it early"?
HPV is sexually transmitted. Gardasil is a vaccine against STD’s.
I would say that young women do not usually need a pap smear until they are sexually active. But the pap smear is the best way, so far, to diagnose HPV. But you have to have direct contact with the virus to ‘catch’ it, so for now, just tell your girls that abstinence is a good idea until they are ready to commit. And then find a guy (yes, there are some guys that are also abstinent) who has your same values.
