Randy's Sister, Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been established as a necessary factor in the development of cervical cancer and that is why insurance companies do not mind covering it as in long-term it saves them from treatment expenses.

In case of Oral cancer, HPV is one of the factor that accounts for over 30% of incidences. Economics is preventing them for accepting it as a norm but in few years from now with growing scientific evidence, they may start covering it atleast for the youth who seem to be most affected.
