"as HPV isn’t solely an STD, promiscuity isn’t required for exposure and is a red herring to being inoculated against it"
"HPV inoculation mitigates several cancers from manifesting and subsequently advancing, no matter how promiscuous people choose to be"
Right, there's different strains of HPV, often called types, and since the article focuses on their effect on cervical cancers, we are focused on the ones that are transmitted sexually, as those are the ones that cause cervical cancer.
"on an individual basis, it is a low effort thing to take an HPV vaccine, no different than the regime for inoculating against chicken pox. its wild to think that if chickenpox was linked to cancers where genitalia happens to be and go, that developed nations around the world would have had issues rolling it out, like, get over it? People can consider changing their relationship with the government if they think state involvement is the same as its endorsement of contributing activities"
I'm not familiar with how HPV relates to the state. But I would like to make clear that the locus of the cancer and the transmission route of the pathogen are NOT coincidences. Pathogens enter the body either through abrasions, and less commonly through mucous membrane absorption. The damage is caused not necessarily by the resources the pathogen parasites, but by the collateral damage the pathogen causes to enter the body. At any rate the damage is localized to the site the infection occured.
So yes, to the extent that HPV causes cervical cancer, it's an std. To the extent that it's not an std it doesn't cause cervical cancer.
There's other types of cancer that cause oropharyngeal cancer and are related to oral sex by the way. Same mechanism, so PSA if you love your partner don't be rough with them, you can literally hurt them in irreversible lasting ways.
