Do you think the vaccine agianst cervical cancer will teach girls its ok to have sex with different men? |
this vaccine means the hpv virus ( which is speard through sex) will no longer affect the cervix or cause cancer. so now women can have sex with who ever they want knowing that it doesnt matter if they have hpv cause they wont get it. what are your thoughts? Gardasil and Cervasix (still pending approval by the FDA) are two HPV vaccines that protect against certain strands of HPV that cause cervical cancer and genital wart (Gardasil does). Remember there are over 100 different strands of HPV - some cause cervical dysplasia (which undetected can lead to cervical cancer), some cause genital warts, and others cause both. Clinical trials have demonstrated that Gardasil has a 100% efficency rate if used by a non sexually active person. In regards to your question, please keep in mind that: 1. HPV Vaccine is not the first vaccine that protects against STDs. Hepatis B vaccine has been administered to teens for years and no studies have shown that it promotes promiscuity so the chances that this new vaccine will promote promiscuity are low. 2. The vaccine can protect girls who may be raped or taken advantage from - and God knows what diseases these awful men have. So to this extent, its protective. HPV causes 100% of all cervical cancer and its the major killer in developing countries. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18136717/... Of course not. What teaches men and women irresponsible sexual behaviour is the complete lack of real sex ed. most men dont even know they have HPV because they usually dont show symptoms. I think its a great idea to get vaccinated but I still dont know how i feel about the HPV vaccine since it has not been out long and we really dont know the long term side effects. I dont think it will give girls the sense that its ok to have sex with different men given that the men dont know they have it. It won't cause an increase in sexual activity, it will just cause SAFER sex. There are still PLENTY of STDs to contract that the vaccine doesn't prevent. NO I don't think it promotes promiscuity. I think that if there are no proven side negative side effects ( I always worry that things are approved before we really know enough about them) down the line, then it can only save lives. I DO wonder though, being that it is sexually transmitted, then why isn't there a shot for men? Actually the vaccine for hpv only protects against 4 types of the disease. There are over 100 of them. I would hope this would not encourage young women to be promiscuous just because there is a vaccine for one std. There isnt one for aids, herpes, syphillis, gonorhea, or trick. They can all be treated and most of them cured but some cant be. I would hope when they talk to young women about it they let them know all the facts concerning the vaccine and exactly what it protects against. I have a daughter on the way and I would stress to her the importance of safe sex with or without the vaccine. http://www.4woman.gov/faq/stdhpv.htm... |
