how many people understand that HPV is sexually transmitted? Maybe I'm naive, but this was never mentioned in my sex ed. I learned about herpes, syphallis and ghonorea (spellings all questionable) and the hot one at the time AIDS, but not HPV. As a matter of fact, I didn't realize it was sexually transmitted until I was reading a pamphlet in my dr's office waiting area this spring.

Your suggestion of car commercials mentioning the risks of sex is absurd as the two are unrelated. Not everyone has sex in cars. BUT having sex can lead to STDs for everyone unless adequately informed of preventitive measures. The commercials don't address how one contracts HPV, only that HPV can lead to cervical cancer. Perhaps you should consider checking out the commercials.
