I recently learned that hpv also caused oral cancer. So if you haven't got this vaccine you really should. I know I had to ask a few times because they kept telling me it wasn't worth it due to my age and sex.
It also causes ass cancer, dick cancer, and vulvular cancer!
In my research, I’ve found that most humans have at least one of the following: Mouth, ass, uterus, vulva, or dick. Many of them have 3 (or more!) of those things. A special few have collected the whole set!
Definitely a vaccine worth getting. If your doctor tells you that you’re too old, tell them their knowledge is too old. More importantly, ask them to note in your chart that they have refused preventative medicine against your wishes.
While awful, i think rates would increase if they marketed this to males. They may not care about women, but they probably don't want penis cancer or warts.
I went through this fight when the vaccine was offered to my kids. Barely 25% uptake because parents though HPV vaccine would turn their daughters into sluts. Churchie types.
