HTH 2303 Pathophysiology
Unit III Discussion
It has been shown that vaginal infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV) increases a woman’s risk to develop cervical cancer. HPV is the virus that causes warts. Vaccines have been developed to help the immune system deal with the infection, and the vaccines lower the risk for cervical cancer. The World Health Organization recommends the vaccine be administered to all females between the ages of 9 and 13. Comment on whether you think all females should be vaccinated, and explain why. In addition, since females get the infection from sexual activity, some have suggested males get vaccinated as well. Do you think boys should get vaccinated as well? Explain why or why not.
