Teens who don't have sex still at risk for HPV

HVP Vaccine

HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that is most commonly passed between people during vaginal or anal intercourse. But it can also be transmitted through genital-to-genital, or hand-to-genital contact, which is how the participants in the study likely got the virus, the researchers said. Out of the more than 40 sexually transmitted HPV strains, more than a dozen have been identified as cancer-causing, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Senh: So no sex and no contact. Better yet, just get the vaccination.

Panel Recommends HPV Vaccine for Young Boys

Boys ages 11 and 12 years should be routinely vaccinated against the human papillomavirus, or HPV, to protect against anal, mouth and neck cancers that can result from sexual activity, a federal advisory committee said.

Senh: If girls are already being vaccinated for it, it would only make sense for boys to do it too. Sure, it's yet another vaccine for kids, but they can get it later between ages 9-26 and it prevents cancer. It's a tough decision to make for boys because the virus is mostly transferred by homosexuals, but it's difficult to tell if your boy's gay at age 9-13.
