Yes, HPV is a major health issue that is not getting the attention it deserves. Let's not forget the numbers here. According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control)
[quote]Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted virus in the United States. At least 50% of sexually active people will have genital HPV at some time in their lives.[/quote] Even more shocking was this CDC statistic
[quote]By age 50, at least 4 out of every 5 women will have been infected with HPV at one point in their lives. HPV is also very common in men, and often has no symptoms.

Keep up the good work Brian and David on spreading the warning about HPV.
