HPV Ads on TV
« on: November 17, 2006, 09:41:33 am »

Has anyone noticed the sudden increase in the number of HPV related PSAs, ads, etc. on TV? Some say up to 70% of the population will get HPV at one time in their lives. Some say it is not such a big deal and clears on its own. Some say it is very dangerous and can cause cancer. Condoms aren't effective in prevention they say. So ? What to do ? Stop having sex or get cancer !?? Darn.
