When I first heard about the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine I was married. My friends started getting it, and continued getting laid. But I, thinking I had met my match and would no longer be having multiple partners, did not need it.
One year ago today, I expanded my option for multiple partners. Meaning, I chose to disband my option to be with that one person forever and ever. Ah, monogamy, you boring piece of shit. Whoever thought it was a good idea to have one partner for the rest of his life was clearly in his first year of marriage. I said goodbye to trying to spice up my sex life and hello to Whoreville, population: me, my girlfriends and a bunch of guys we barely know!
And so I looked into the HPV vaccine, on the off chance I’d have a great sex life some day. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that, from my understanding, usually presents with no symptoms. It can lead to cancer of the cervix, vagina, vulva and butt. Fucking butt cancer, OK?
I don’t know about in the US but in Israel I paid an exorbitant amount of money for the 3 shots which are administered over a period of 6+ months. The price is a deterrent, and I don’t think it’s carried by most insurances but I thought it a wise decision. The one offered in Israel is only until the ripe old whorey age of 27 but I know there are vaccines in he works for women up to 40 years young. So look into it. I’m glad I did. I feel better knowing I’m covered especially because carriers don’t know they have it and it makes you vulnerable to other STDS. Anyway, I just wanted to drop this bit of knowledge on you, ladies. Look into it yourself, pros and cons, and decide for yourself.
I’m all for sex, but I’m for safe sex and long healthy lives full of it.
so my insurance through school covered the first two shots with just a regular copay each time. however. As I learned the hard way, not all insurance companies cover the Gardasil vaccine. So after i graduated, my new insurance didn’t cover the vaccine. I paid about $150 for my last shot. The doctor covered the cost of their efforts, about 20 bucks – the price they usually pay to cover the difference from the insurance coverage.
Personally, I think the vaccine is worth it, as HPV is easily transmitted, not just through actual intercourse. It also provides some kind of peace of mind, at least for the next handful of years, to know that I’m safe from the most common strains of the virus that are generally responsible for cancer. I think if you’re a single woman and are eligible for the vaccine, do some reasearch. It’s at least worth the time it takes to look it up.
Well, I’m sorry to have to inform you of this, but there are terrible side effects to the hpv vaccine.

So, look out, you are probably going to have latent medical problems that stem from this vaccine.
yea. so i can take it out of my body.
but i guess since the big number is 2.2 million vaccines in 1 year as compared to the 8000 with issues, some as minor as pain at the injection site (isn’t that a given, it’s a needle into muscle)…i’m not so worried.
but thanks for the glass is half empty kind of heads up.
Thanks for the diverse points of view, girls. I think it’s important to make informed decisions and I already made mine, so, republicofhealth, telling me that there’ll be a pox on both my houses because I already made the decision I deemed as right for my health, is counteractive to your message. if you want people to listen to you, try a spoonful of sugar- still, thanks for sharing. i hear you
I mean, do any of you know what the ingredients of the HPV vaccine are?
And are you aware of the history of Merck and it’s ties to the third reich?
I’m not quite sure what you mean by the glass half empty. I’m just trying to warn people that these vaccinations are dangerous. They are filled with formaldehyde, aluminum, mercury, and genetically modified tissue from aborted fetuses. Sound like something you want to inject into your bloodstream?
Please enlighten me on the half glass full perspective of nazi chemical corporations making money off of people naive enough not to question the poisons they are ingesting.
