Prevention really is key, and even though it is, as Alicia said, “iffy,” trying is better than not trying. The thing is, I don’t think keeping your pants on until you’re married and then being monogamous is such a bad solution. You dig?

But to each his own. And whatever people decide to do, because individuals can and should decide for THEMSELVES (rather than being mandated by their state), they should make educated choices. I hope this helps someone to do that!

I love that this issue was brought to the conversation over here.

This is an excellent example of tangible things people can do to prevent one kind of cancer — not all cancers can be prevented (yet) but awareness of where we stand on this one cause of cervical cancer is a starting point for prevention.

This is scary stuff. Iffy on prevention (unless you’re completely and utterly celibate), iffy on detection, and no treatment.
