From Warren, KD4GUA:
Sunday (March 11) we discussed Human Papillomavirus HPV. We discovered it is the most common STD --present in 1/4 of all females at ages 20-24 and that 80% of us who reach age 50 have been infected--both male and female--with one of the 89+ strains that can cause condyloma (venereal warts and cervical cancer etc.)etc. Fortunately, most cases are destroyed by the body defenses within 2 years.
The new vaccine runs around $135 per injection, three required preferably for females under 29 and not men (yet).
From the recent study reported in the Feb. 28 JAMA one in 59 females remains a virgin by age 50--needless to say, they are in great demand.
The bad news, is we got hit with a pizza ad on Grand Rounds this morning along with our Latin cooks up on 310 making it almost impossible to carry on.
ASOFNOW--henceforth, as agreed by all, we will be moving down to 14.307 MHz in the immediate future. This coming week, we hope, Lou Wiederhold WA1HGE will be discussing current treatment of malaria, a disease that just won't go away.
