Although previous research has shown declines in the prevalence of vaccine-type HPV infection and genital warts among young U.S. females after introduction of the HPV vaccination program, overall infection rates in both women and men remain unacceptably high.

Cervical cancer screening rates are much lower among women with severe mental illness than among other women, a new study finds.
"The results of this very large study indicate that we need to better prioritize cervical cancer screening for these high-risk women with severe mental illnesses," said study senior author Dr. Christina Mangurian. She's an associate professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco.

That’s a serious problem. But news coverage shouldn't inflate that risk in conveying the message that parents and doctors need to act.

If you're sexually active, then you've likely had HPV at some point. The Human Papillomavirus is incredibly common and not usually something you have to worry about, since any symptoms that occur often go away on their own. But, as with most things health-related, there can be complications. If you experience any signs of HPV, it's a good idea to talk with your doctor.
He or she can help you deal with any symptoms you're having (like pesky genital warts). But it's also important to monitor yourself for high-risk strains of HPV, as they can occasionally lead to cancer of the cervix, mouth, penis, and other areas involved during sexual activity.
