Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | I emailed my letter to Newsweek at the Health link, but when the email address came up it showed: < [email protected]> It hasn't been returned yet so maybe it got through. I recommended the OCF site plus another dental site that gives HPV info. Hope something posiive comes out of our letters.

Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,918 Likes: 68 | You found another dental site that has MORE information on HPV than OCF? I'm curious as to who this is since I yet to come across a site in dentistry that gets the informatiln right - if at all.....
