No, it’s not just you! I wasn’t afraid of STDs when I was in my early 20s but now I’m afraid of getting one. I wouldn’t want most of my life to revolve around dealing with a horrible infection that couldn’t be treated successfully. I really wish more vaccines would be developed as well as better treatment options. This issue really needs to be a priority and more funding needs to go towards it. Screening is not enough.
I just read this article again. I think it would be / is well worthwhile for any sexually active adult who hasn't had this HPV Multi Vaccination to go get it.
I am so exasperated. Not only are there so many different herpes viruses, but there are so many other ones, too. It seems now that if I became sexual with anyone, even with a condom, then I'd likely be exposed to a few virus types. And if I became sexual with someone without a condom then I'd be exposed to a few more virus types... Big sssighhh... Just what is the point of living?! Viruses are everywhere! Is it just me who is so exasperated?

Why was this study capped at 45? Is there some assumption that we already have all the variations of the virus, or that 50-year-olds are more likely to be in exclusive relationships then 45-year olds? 45 isn't typically post-menopausal. Please tell me the study wasn't capped because of some cost-benefit analysis.
