Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection in the United States. HPV family of viruses comprises many oncogenic and non-oncogenic types that cause anal, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers and anogenital warts in men respectively. It is estimated that more than 80% of sexually active men and women will be infected with at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives (Chesson et al., 2014). Moreover, genital HPV infection is most common among sexually…

HPV is one of the greatest causes of cervical cancers in our new developing world. By getting the Human papillomavirus vaccine it may help to deduce the risk of cancer. To bring this to other low income countries the GAP (Gardasil Access Program) was established to let organizations in low-resource counties gain the HPV vaccination programs. The study captured the experiences of programs participating in the GAP and other factors related to HPV vaccination programs, and how…

1. Evaluate the strength of the arguments presented in your group discussion. What did you find compelling? What did not work for you? My group members and I held strong arguments in our respective positions (for, against and neutral). The argument for the HPV vaccines highlighted the important of early prevention. They talked the fact that children may engage in sexual activities before expected. They supported their claims using the sources from one of the assigned reading. one of them…

infected with HPV, and as a result, the probability of the infection developing into cancer undetected is a real threat. Thus, vaccination is pivotal in reducing the risk of HPV-caused cancers. Currently, there are only two FDA certified HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix. The vaccinations are recommended for both boys and girls 11-26 years of age in a series of three shots over a period of six months (“Human). Vaccinations have always been the subject of controversy and myths, and the HPV…

knew, but she was more like a sister to me I have known her for over half of my life. The doctors said that Rachel had a massive stroke, but they were not sure and still are not sure what from. The doctors think that the stroke was caused by the Gardasil shot that Rachel got in the previous months. Family, friends, and the community was devastated, nothing like this has ever happened to someone so young in our community, all we knew to do was pray, and prayer works. The day after that we were…

HPV is a group of viruses, and it is spread through sexual intercourse. The risks that increase the chances of a woman being infected with HPV are having multiple sexual partners, or having sex with a partner who has had multiple partners, having a history of sexually transmitted infections (STI’s), and having sexual intercourse at a young age. Even though HPV infections are common and rarely lead to cancer, medical researchers believe that other factors are involved in the development of…

important these days because everyone is trying to maximize their profits even at the cost of a person’s life and may say things that are partially true and withhold information as well. One very good example of this is Tomljenovic and Shaw’s article on Gardasil vaccine that all school students in Canada receive; this vaccine provides protection against cervical cancer and thus, it is made mandatory for female students to receive the shot in order to continue attending school – that is what all…

Vaccinating a Reality It is well known that before enrolling your child in public school their immunizations must be active and up to date. In all 50 states it is mandatory that your child doesn’t put other children at risk by not being vaccinated, but ironically, it is not that much of a threat considering that in 48 out of those 50 you can claim vaccinations are against your spiritual or philosophical beliefs. Having this pass, what does it really persuade? This representation of an easy out…

two types of cancer vaccines have been approved. Both are used to prevent seventy percent of the types of cervical cancer. In a statement given by The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the organization stated, ¨The FDA has approved two vaccines, Gardasil® and Cervarix®, that protect against infection by the two types of HPV—types 16 and 18—that cause approximately 70 percent of all cases of cervical cancer worldwide.” Without the help of technology, many lifesaving vaccines may have not been…

While different types of immunization have been used throughout history, the first vaccine was administered by a country doctor named Edward Jenner in 1796. Ever since that first vaccination, the world has been filled with both pro-vaccination and anti-vaccination movements. Vaccines have helped our society by drastically decreasing the presence of many life threatening diseases like polio, smallpox, and measles, to name a few. Fear and doubt have also surrounded vaccines since their birth.…
