HPV is running rampant. Basically anyone who has been sexually active has had it. I know lots of women in the same situation as her. 

 

Vaccinate your teens, people.

Ouch. My prayers go out to her and family

Hey Tarhole you have any opinion insight or thoughts on the matter, or you just want to be known as the gut who wants to be first & just post links & tweets @nctarheel0619

isnt it pretty low risk and very rarely to women die from it in western societies?

Just saying I would not have given her HPV. You made the wrong choice Erin.

[PrimeTimeHeel]

if you are in any way sexually active with many different people you will most likely get hpv.

If I'm understanding correctly, the title should be changed to *had

The reason is because getting HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) happens to almost every single sexually active woman. The issue is not truly whether you get it or not but whether it progresses to a carcinoma.

For females getting regular pap-smears every 3 years is recommended, however some OBGYN's still believe in yearly screening- which I tend to agree with.  

Vaccination, as Jermey, says is the only true way to prevent cancer. Females and Males should get the vaccine.

There are loads of other complications including infertility as a result of tx.

The HPV vac is now being said to cause cervical cancer

Not trying to judge, but I went to a college known for its journalism, and pretty much all of the girls who wanted to be a sports reporter or something similar to what Andrews does were the most promiscuous girls on campus fwiw

I personally have known 2 women who have died from cervical cancer which had metastasized. One was in her early 30's, the other early 40's.

Yep. Many in the medical community think that HPV is linked to the growing occurrence of mouth and throat cancers in men who don't have the typical risk factors - smoking and/or heavy drinking.

I just had my tonsils yanked about 9 months ago because one of them just blew up. The doctors weren't really concerned about cancer in my case due to lack of risk factors (smoking, heavy drinking, age) but they basically told me that the only way to know for certain was to yank them and biopsy them, plus there had to be something going on to cause it. Turned out to just be a localized infection.
