Half of men may have HPV infections

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

CHICAGO (Reuters) – Half of men in the general population may be infected with human papillomavirus or HPV, the human wart virus that causes cervical and other cancers, strengthening the case for vaccinating boys against HPV, U.S. researchers said on Monday.

U.S. vaccine advisers have been weighing whether boys and young men should be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus, as they already recommend for girls and young women, but some worry the vaccine is too costly to justify its use.

Sounds like a ploy to sell more drugs and boost the profits of pharmaceutical companies to me.

This is one very good reason in support of circumcision.

Yep! That's why it was done to all new Born's in the 30's,40's ,50's,60's,70's. I think in the 70's sometime, is when it wasn't required any more.

They are correct though.

Just another scam. They are worse than advertisements on the internet sometimes.

It only stands to reason that a high percentage of men are infected with HPV. The women have to get it from somewhere.

This is simply good medicine. We will effectively eliminate cervical cancer through a vaccine.

Not to mention genital warts.

Makes sense. I know a ton of dudes with cervical cancer.

Currently, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends Gardasil vaccinations for girls and women between the ages of 11 and 26. Gardasil had sales of more than $1 billion last year.

And while doctors are free to use the vaccine in boys and men ages 9 through 26, U.S. health officials so far have declined to recommend routine vaccination for males.

"This study highlights the high incidence of HPV infection in men, which emphasizes their role in transmission of HPV to women," Dr. Anne Szarewski of the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine in London said in a statement.

"It must surely strengthen the argument for vaccination of men, both for their own protection, and that of their partners."

Would pharma firms make bank? Yes, they have and will.

Is it a good idea to get the vaccination? Yes, for both sexes.

The problem is that men are asymptomatic. If their dicks were being cut off because of this .... i bet the story would change.

You damn right. And it would be fully funded by insurance.

Vaccines are money losers for pharmaceuticals.

Lifestyle drugs like viagra are the money makers.

For the same reason that dermatologists make a shit ton of money more than internists.

Umm, Excuse me geauxtohell, but do you care to elaborate on that assumption? How can "Lifestyle drugs", which are a choice, be more profitable than a Vaccine, which are usually (or quickly all becoming) mandatory? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Not trying to attack you, Just wondering bro? ~BH

That seems counterintuitive, but I guess we're talking about Big Pharma and health care here, so yeah.

I see now I misread that one sentence as saying Gardasil making them $1b--not sales of $1b.

I thought I'd point out that with something like Viagra, money is spent on a regular basis for it, whereas a vaccine would be taken/purchased far less frequently. That would explain something like Viagra being more of a money-maker.

Hey, good to see you over here.

The R&D behind vaccines makes them cost prohibitive. Furthermore, they are pushed out as a public health concern and sold at rock bottom prices. Physicians typically lose money on vaccines.
