Startling statistics were recently revealed in Australia when it was stated in a university survey conducted by a professor that the use of condoms for practicing safe sex appears to be declining in the younger generation, falling within the age ranges of 16 to 26. This will be considered to be a major problem in this day and age even though a great number of good medical therapies for STDs exist.

Owing to medical science we have now come a far way - even so the one elusive illness that's still a huge problem for doctors worldwide is the treating of cancer. And it also so happens that you've got an STD that is indirectly responsible for one of these cancers. It's common knowledge that the cancer is cancer of the cervix in women.

There's a virus called HPV that also causes genital wart infections and it has now been shown by medical science that HPV infection can ultimately be the cause of lethal cervical cancer in adult females. Cancers are treated in lots of ways including surgery and then obviously there are radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments. Nevertheless these often do more harm than good, simply because they damage the cancer cells in addition to the human cells.

So medical science took a few paces back and very cleverly created a vaccine against the Human Papilloma Virus. It could be offered to teenage girls (and boys) already over the age of twelve. Hence the idea is always to protect them from any exposure to HPV well before they are even confronted with it.

Logically then, if they are protected against HPV infection certainly they will also be protected to some large degree against the growth of cervical cancer, since the HPV virus has been seen as being responsible for this cancer also. Not to mention one cannot find any good reason why males mustn't have the vaccine at an early age as well. They will then be protected against infection and thus could be prevented from passing HPV through to their female sexual partners.

Many slightly older adults nowadays have however never been vaccinated against this infection, simply because this vaccine is only a somewhat recent development. These people have become contaminated with HPV and genital warts. But there is also a treatment to remedy warts, which is an organic homeopathic remedy which can be purchased freely without a prescription.

Medical science has therefore made some serious progress in this subject of STDs. Not simply will we treat genital warts brought on by HPV infection, but we can now also prevent HPV infection by making use of a vaccine. And thus ultimately it's perfectly true to say that cervical cancer is now preventable in most women.
