Human papilloma virus (HPV) Cancer

Human papilloma virus (HPV), can cause cervical cancer and genital warts in women, but goes mostly undetected (and untestable) in men.Gardasil, made by Merck & Co., blocks four strains of HPV which account for more than 70 percent of all HPV cases resulting in cervical cancer. The preventative vaccine is administered through a series of three shots over the course of six months. Obviously, you should speak at length with your gyno before making a decision about this or any other medical treatment.
