In the past month, I've heard newscasts & opinion pieces on mainstream stations & NPR about fast-tracking insurance coverage of Gardasil for boys because of the connection between HPV & oral cancer in men. It's like a lightbulb went off in the collective head of the medical community, and they're playing catch-up. But I guess step A had to be in place before they could discuss Step B.
