An interesting article in the Massachusetts News reveals that condoms are not effective at stopping the spread of human papillomaviruses (HPV) or genital warts, which are spreading at epidemic proportions. HPV is an incurable disease, often asymptomatic, linked as strongly to cervical cancer as cigarette smoking is linked to lung cancer. It lives all over the pubic area, which is why condoms cannot stop it. Yet Planned Parenthood, CDC, and other organizations insist on stating or implying that condoms will protect you from HPV, and from the media reaction you'd think there wasn't a problem. As Dr. Stephen Curry, of the New England Medical Center in Boston, said in Time in 1988, "This virus is rampant. If it were not for AIDS, stories about it would be on the front page of every newspaper."
When will the truth be told?
Thanks to Matt K. for the link.
This isn't news, really. It's old hat that condoms don't stop HPV or some other viruses (genital herpes included, I think).
Well, it wasn't news for me anyway.
Don't you think your subject is a bit over-hyped - sorta like the adjenda'ist liberal media. On the face, your subject makes it seem as if condoms provide no use whatsoever in terms of all disease. A better title would read, "Condoms not 100% effective against all diseases" which any intelligent person would read and think, "yeah, I knew that, I'm not an idiot." Bad writing today friend. Caleb
