it's the people that don't get regular care that are much more likely to get cancer. Last edited by MikeWaters; 02-04-2007 at 06:42 PM. |

The male cervix
Quote:
This is from the CDC: It is possible that vaccinating males will have health benefits for them by preventing genital warts and rare cancers, such as penile and anal cancer. It is also possible that vaccinating boys/men will have indirect health benefits for girls/women. Studies are now being done to find out if the vaccine works to prevent HPV infection and disease in males. When more information is available, this vaccine may be licensed and recommended for boys/men as well. BTW: Thanks for enlightening me... And all these years I thought men had cervixes too.

Sure require a vaccination for boys to prevent genital warts.
They'll never be able to prove that this will prevent penile and anal cancer IMO, because the disease is too rare. So it is just speculation. But your argument was that men should be vaccinated to prevent disease in women. I am saying that it is unprecedented to give someone a vaccine when it won't prevent disease in that person (outside of genital warts). |

I know. I know. Because we get pregnant... Because we have cervixes...
We take all the responsibility. All the time.
