Does the HPV vaccine work

The HPV vaccine does not treat existing cases of HPV. It also does not prevent all types of strains of the HPV virus. It protects only certain types of HPV and not the most severe ones.

Is the HPV vaccination shot safe?

(source: ProLifeBlogs.com) According to Judicial Watch that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, between March and May of 2007 up to 3 cases of deaths had been reported due to the HPV vaccine.  Also reported were 1,637 adverse vaccination reactions reported to the FDA via the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System included 371 serious reactions. Of the 42 women who received the vaccine while pregnant, 18 experienced side effects ranging from spontaneous abortion to fetal abnormities.

Who can get the HPV vaccine?

The FDA has approved: It is best to get the shot before you start being sexually active. It is NOT recommended for women over age 26.

How many shots will I need?

3 shots, One shot first, then 2 month later the Second shot and the third shot 6 months after the first shot.

How long Am I am going to be protected?

The vaccine is NEW, so there are a lot more studies to be done. There is no way for you to know at the time.

Can I get Vaccine if I have HPV?

The Vaccine will not Cure HPV . It might protect you from others types of HPV.

Note: You might have heard there are other ways of preventing it HPV or making it disappear  like by having the LEEP surgery or vaccination, Of course that involves side effects which might cause you to have a miscarriage or might not cure your HPV, which could then lead to Cervical cancer. After being an (ex) severe victim of HPV who continues to test clear of the virus my own opinion is that initial testing and results of the shot are much too dangerous for me to advise it. I almost got cervical cancer and today I am HPV free thanks to the Natural Way of treating it with no surgical procedures or pain wasoever.

HPV, Cancer and Vaccination

HPV stands for human papillomavirus and there are 100 types but only 13 of them are known to cause cancer, the others are harmless and cause problems such as warts. HPV is transmitted through intimate sexual contact such as sexual intercourse and a strain of HPV is thought to be present in at least half of all sexually active women. In fact 3000 women are diagnosed with the problem each year and approximately 1000 die each year.

Cervical cancer is rare in women under 25 and most women get the problem in their 30s or when they are older. So how does HPV lead to cervical cancer?

There are two particular strains of HPV (types 16 and 18) which cause over 70% of all cervical cancers in the UK. Although HPV infection is usually symptom free it can severely damage the lining of the cervix and repeat infection if left untreated can cause cervical cancer.   The Vaccination   The HPV vaccine protects against the two aforementioned types of the virus as these cause over 70% of cervical cancers.

It is estimated that the vaccine saves the lives of over 400 women per year. There are three doses of the vaccination needed spread over a 6 month period and it is necessary to have all three jabs to ensure best protection. The vaccine has undergone rigorous testing and is 100% completely safe, in fact this testing was a condition in the granting of the license. The vaccine will be offered to 12-13 year old girls from the autumn of 2008 and will be carried out by primary care trusts. Most girls will be given the vaccination in school and for older girls given at their local GP.

Many women are under the illusion that this eliminated the need for cervical screening however it is VITAL that all women go for cervical screening from the age of 25, vaccine or no vaccine. The cervical screening service offered by the NHS saves about 4500 lives a year and is offered to women up to the age of 25.

Maker of HPV Vaccination, Merck, Submitting Stats to Feds on New HPV Vaccine for Women ages 27-45

We are always browsing the web looking for information about HPV and cures for HPV so that you can be the best informed. Often we find little tidbits here and there that offer a some touch of insight as to what is going on with the fight against this disease that causes cervical cancer in women and that can cause genital warts and anal warts in both sexes.

One thing that we have noticed is that there are currently only HPV Vaccines for women, and they are touch and go, and mostly they are designed to prevent cervical cancer, not genital warts or anal warts. The makers of the most popular, well up until now the most popular, prescribed HPV Vaccination, Merck – who makes Gardisol – has been ordered by the US government to submit stats on the numbers and how effective their new drug (which is supposed to offer hope to older women between ages of 27-45) truly is.

In an early January report that was published the very popular web news medium. Reuters, the article cites as follows.

“Gardasil, one of Merck's biggest products, was approved in 2006 for preventing cervical cancer and genital warts in females between the ages of 9 and 26. It works by preventing infection with the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes cervical cancer.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration early last year again withheld approval for its use by women aged 27 to 45, asking the drug maker to submit data when a 48-month study on a test group has been completed.

Merck, in a statement on its Web site, said it had provided the completed trial data to the FDA before the end of 2009. The company said the FDA typically takes six months to review such responses.

Global sales of Gardasil fell 22 percent to $311 million in the third quarter, hurt by overseas competition from GlaxoSmithKline's rival Cervarix vaccine and continuing delays in winning expanded approval for the product.”

So while there is some new hope on the horizon, at least for women who are older, as the current HPV vaccines only treat young girls, from age 12-25, what about men, and what about those who are currently infected with HPV?
