the difference is that smoking is a choice, getting hpv isn't. i don't see the difference between this and getting MMRs
Can HPV be passed in any other way?
* There is no evidence that contaminated toilet seats, doorknobs, towels, soaps, swimming pools or hot tubs, can transmit HPV. However, some unexplained cases of HPV lesions do occur and one should never rule out the possibility that an HPV infection may have been caught in a non-sexual event.
* HPV types that cause hand and common warts generally do not cause warts in the genital area. The exception is the rare occurrence of warts in the genital area in young children that are due to these "non-genital" HPV types. Likewise, genital HPV types are only very rarely found in lesions outside the genital area. For instance, HPV 31 lesions have been described in the conjunctiva and subungal areas. Therefore, autoinoculation of HPV from one area to another does not occur except in the rarest of circumstances.
* Whether one can increase the risk of infecting the cervix by autoinoculation from external warts, or vice versa, is not known, but most individuals who have HPV lesions in one area of the lower genital tract probably already have HPV in other genital tract areas. Therefore, one should not be concerned about "spreading" HPV from one area to another.
I'm just curious. They're both saving lives right? I don't see how one could be against the government controlling one aspect of life and for it controlling another.
I found this:
there are something like 130 different forms of HPV, not all of them sexually transmitted. it is also entirely possible for men to be carriers and have no idea (a girl i was recently involved with enlightened me to this tidbit of info, no i don't have it but someone she had been with did) so, further question, should everyone be required to have STD screens after becoming sexually active? It would certainly help stop the spread.
Legislating the prevention of murdering an unborn child is truly not even close to legislating the requiring of someone to take a shot. If you can't see this I am sorry.
Still, preventing death is preventing death, doesn't matter what kind of death it is. Cigarette companies commit murder every day. How can you say that one life is more important than the other? I would venture to even say that a young woman's life is more important than unborn babies life considering everything.Yes but these people have freedom of choice. The baby does not get that choice.
