David,

Out of curiosity what was the copyright date of the book? Maybe it was a reprint of an old version. I know from Brian that HPV has been a documented path to possible OC since the year of 2000. But, when was it widely known throughout the medical community? Like anything I'm sure it takes a while for things to filter down. My family doctor knew that HPV can cause OC...So, I'm sure most medical professionals have to know this by now...I'm really surprised by this..
