Zeb. The moderators of the OCF forum have asked that you be told that these forums are for supporting cancer patients, and their caregivers. While we have tried to answer some of your questions, please realize that you are not a cancer patient, and the HPV questions that you are asking are out of the realm of what we can help people with here on this forum.

There are several HPV dedicated web sites that you can find through Goggle, and I suggest that you pursue your questions with them, where you might find the kinds of answers you are looking for. The people here that help others are really not academics, nor HPV experts, and it is the wrong place for you to find answers for what you are looking for.

So while we find it good that you are trying to locate proper answers for the kids you are working with, the people on these forums have answered as much as they know about this to you. We respectfully ask that you not use these message boards further for a general discussion of HPV, and leave them to the people who are in the battle with this terrible disease.
