I'm pro vaccine no argument here.

You could only be advocating total abstinence as a smart choice, then Kommie, because warts can be transmitted by the balls touching the outside of the vulva. I know women who got it whilst in a monogamous relationship with their very first boyfriend, who showed no sign of warts and who always used a condom.

He was a carrier and didn't realise he had it and she did the responsible thing by insisting on a condom every time. I wouldn't say her choices were bad ones. Warts is an epidemic and so easily transmitted, you'd have to be a monk not to get it these days-hence the vaccine.

You're right, and its really a shame that poor choices made early in life will affect them the rest of their life, but honestly poor choices got them there.

You wouldn't make such an asinine comment if you knew what it's really like to have warts. It itches and burns like hell. Sex is basically impossible, because your whole vagina is so sore. A guys penis will feel like he's ramming you with a knife, if you try sex. Many women have it without realising it until it's severe, because the warts may be inside, hidden from view, like around the cervix.

There's nothing tickly about having warts.

Sure, Genital warts (or Condyloma, Condylomata acuminata, or venereal warts) is a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection caused by some sub-types of human papillomavirus (HPV).

Basically what I am saying is that her vagina may get some french ticklers.

HPV = Human Paplova Virus = Genital Warts. Yeah, your love hole is ruined for life.

It only makes a bad situation worse, by there being such a big stigma about getting HPV. The fact is that a huge proportion of women aged between 18 and 35 have it. I forget, but I think it's about 1 in 5 or something like that.

It is SO easy to get and if you think a condom will save you, you're wrong.

There's also very effective treatment for it and it doesn't have to mean the end of your sex life. Laser treatment, while painful during the procedure, is very successful and quick.

This probably scares the hell out of anyone with venereal warts.

How to enter a safe.

How to derail a train.

Great for wart removal.

Buck Melanoma...Moley Russel's wart.

Hope we can say the same for China, they are shaping up to be another wonderful fascist socialist wart on the surface of earth, the next round of olympics is there innit???

buckwheat husks work for cold sores and plantar warts..

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Always dug this band, and the name....Verucas' a plantars-type foot wart....heheheh
The gals look fun....c'moooooon over!!!

I should confess to having a very great deal of trust in science, scientific inquiry and evidence based medicine but its probably because I do science and I know scientists and so I'm comfortable with these things as a matter of course; I feel my trust has been duly earned. So your criticism of all the cards not being on the table for the average medical consumer may be right in that the average person is not equipped (nor should they be expected to be so equipped) to understand the exceptionally technically dense material of, for instance, the publication detailing the exact mechanism of action in the case of this particular vaccine which is called "Prophylactic quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, and 18) L1 virus-like particle vaccine in young women: a randomised double-blind placebo-controlled multicentre Phase II efficacy trial.". I'm not sure how to solve that problem, as most people seem to care little for hard science to say nothing of the years of study required to understand a paper like that.

I really do think though, that drug companies, the government, medical associations, and hospitals (in that ascending order of trustworthyness with drug companies at the very bottom of the scale) are for the most part very open in the literature about the underlying mechanism, theory, screening and manufacture of the medicines they create. As I mentioned before it has been unequivocally shown that pharma giants will lie to keep unsafe drugs on the market and that is outrageously despicable in the extreme but I have to say that our governmental oversight of these corporations in the form of the FDA, Health Canada and Britains MHRA is fairly good, bad drugs are pulled quickly, coverups are punished (not harshly enough but that's another story) and regulation is pretty strict. The bad old thalidomide days, thankfully appear to be mostly over (back then double blind testing of drugs didn't even exist!) due directly to this oversight safety.

If its not already obvious, I REALLY want this vaccine and would gladly shell out the $350 for it in exchange for never having to worry about getting nasty gross genital warts and a vastly reduced risk of naughty bits cancer (HPV causes a large portion of anal and penile cancers) but no one will give it to me because its only been approved for use in females and it would be an off label use. And why would that be? Because Merck could get the vaccine to market faster and make money quicker if they tested only on females to begin with in order to prove efficacy in its largest target market. Like I said, I'm no huge fan of these companies either but a reasoned, dispassionate and ballanced view toward thier actions overall is what's most judicious I feel.

Believe it or not, I think toad actually got a minor speed boost while he was carrying an item. I know that he was definitely the fastest at picking them up.

I might just be making that first part up, though...

Also, I don't remember Wart being that easy...
