I am well aware of the vaccine, but it's of no use to most women, who have been exposed to the  virus for many years.  A very large percentage of women above the age of 25 already are infected.  That's why the  CDC recommends having girls get the HPV vaccination in  their early  teens, before they become sexually active.  So I wouldn't dismiss this as "old news."  As I said,  I'm skeptical because a link hasn't been definitively proven and because such initial studies are often wrong.  I posted it because I thought it  would be of interest despite this.

Just checked the CDC site, which confirms that 50% of all sexually active Americans have been exposed to the HPV virus.  I can only imagine what the percentage of people on TER would be.  Regardless, for anyone who's been exposed, the vaccine is useless.

Agreed.  HPV notwithstanding, I plan to slurp and lick my way into oblivion.  Besides, as noted above, most of us -- both providers and clients -- have already been  exposed, so that bridge has already been burned.
