Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 I fall in to the category of women that have had to deal with HPV and I've never had sex. There was something mentioned a while back (and Dee you may be more familiar with the article than I am if you have it in your stash) that said that HPV is also thought to sometimes be part of the vulvodynia process in particular vulvar vestibulitis for some women. As one girl that used to post to this list regularly said one could get HPV just by using a wet towel (meaning used by someone with HPV to dry off). How likely that is though I don't know but she did mention that it can be possible. One would have to check the archives for the older discussions about HPV to see how exactly she worded it.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I've met the woman who was instrumental in developing the vaccine. I saw the results of her research at a presentation she gave to a cancer cinical group here. There is nothing to fear from this vaccine, it's nothing but positive. HPV is everywhere. It isn't just passed on via sex. It's transmitted with any kind of touch. It's been around with humans for as long as there have been humans. There are over 200 strains we have just co- evolved with it. I recently found out that the 'jackalope' is real. The rabbit is infected with a strain of HPV that causes large wart like growths on it's head. They have also found HPV dna in samples from dinosaurs. HPV needs to be put into perspective. It's not a new sexually transmitted disease, it's been around forever. What is new, is the ability to prevent a really nasty cancer. There is nothing to loose. The research up to date shows no negative side effects with this vaccine. Just my $0.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Just my opinion....but hasn't experience taught us it is only a matter of time before negative side effects begin to surface? " nothing to fear from this vaccine " seems like an optimistically premature statement....even for those who are 'pro' vaccine. imo CarolLynn > >Reply-To: VulvarDisorders >To: VulvarDisorders >Subject: Re: HPV Vaccine? info >Date: Mon, 06 Nov 2006 13:13:02 -0000 > >I've met the woman who was instrumental in developing the vaccine.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 The vaccine is only designed for treating 4 different kinds of strains of HPV. It doesn't stop the other 196 different strains. Also, for someone who has had HPV the vaccine won't help. And then there are some like me who have specific reasons for not getting it besides age (I am over 25). And of course there's something to be scared about this shot which is why I won't take it even if it was designed to help thosse over 25. And the biggest reason is my health but for others it may be another reason. That's why I said I will be interested to see what the results of this shot is in 2 years. Things can change in a period of two years. Not all the strains cause cervical cancer or genital warts. Some can have it and not have either of these things happen. That's where I fell.
