There is much talk of giving the 10 year old girls the Gardasil anti-HPV Vaccine. I guess that I'm for it (not knowing more than what I hear on the news), but it kind of creeps me out as a picture in my mind 10 year old girls + SEX.

Do you want your sister/daughter getting the vaccine?

I'm getting it myself, have it already just need to get it into me. Heh

I think its a good idea, even doing it so young. Better to get them before they've got much of a chance to catch it than when it might be to late.

Besides, its not meant to protect from HPV to prevent genital warts (although it helps alot in that respect too) it's to prevent cervical cancer caused by HPV.

Hence why it's not really available to boys.

Though? I don't know if it is the same 3 strains of HPV that cause cervix rot? HPV may increase Oral Cancer by 2x. Still very rare, but not much talked about. Probably because it is a new finding, let alone talking to people about the thexxth is one thing, but going into the oral? Just too personal/k.i.n.k.y.

"Honey? This'll help keep your twat from rotting out due to HPV & may just keep your tongue from rotting out too!"

Oral STD's: Don't Talk. Don't Ask. Don't Tell.

We could be politically correct and assume no ten year olds ever have any sexual contact ever.

Or we could be logical and protect our children from disease. Better safe then sorry.

If it would prevent my daughter getting cervical cancer, give her the damn injection.

It is very PC to pretend they don't get any. No use pretending that every day that goes by past their 10th diminishes the time window to give them the vaccine while it will still be effective. Sure, you could ask 13/14 year olds to tell you if it would still be effective? Eg: Are they still "untouched"? Would you want to ask them? Would they tell the truth? Being that age: wouldn't they love to pretend anyways, that the vaccine could still be effective?

"Sure I'm a virgin!" ("Sucked a lot of dirty.... though.")

IDK. There isn't talk of whether virgins who've done oral can still get the vaccine? I imagine...it might be TOO LATE for them to get it. Not in all cases, but if they have oral contact with an infected person? Luckily: Cervical Cancer is rare anyways.

I think we already have it in Australia. Not for 10 year olds, maybe like 12 or 13 though. I remember they did a massive vaccination a couple of years ago anyway. I don't really see a problem with it as long as they're injecting what they say they're injecting.

I was expecting pictures.

It's a vaccine. The whole point is to give it to them before they need it. Stick every ten year old in the country. Wipe out genital warts.

Just thought I'd mention that this has resulted in leftover curry all over my keyboard.
