Early Genital warts are considered very contagious since they affect the moist tissues and are spread by direct skin to skin contact with an infected person. Contraction of the genital warts mostly happens during sexual intercourse that involves, the mouth, the anus, the penis and of course the vagina. Be warned though, that a person will also re-infect themselves on other parts of their body when they don’t remember to wash off their hands after coming into contact with the warts. The best thing to do is not to keep quiet about the early signs of genital warts. As much as one would feel so embarrassed to open up to their doctor about the problem, just take a step of courage and you could be saving yourself from further damage of a precious part of your body.

It’s important to use this vaccine for cervical cancer because it can save many women from certain death.We should think also for a vaccine which can be implied on males because after all the disease is coming from them.

I agree completely that the vaccine should be used for both males and females. This is the only sensible scientific strategy. In the UK, we got ourselves into a mess once before with rubella vaccination by only vaccinating girls. It took us 10 years to figure out that we needed to vaccinate both males and females to make a real impact on rubella. Sadly, in the case of Gardasil, the decision has been made on cost grounds, even though in the long term it would be more economic to eliminate cervical and penile cancer. But how many governments indulge in that sort of long term health planning?
