Vaccine. . .

IT'S HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just read that Merck has developed a cervical cancer vaccine aimed at strains 16 & 18. They also say that the vaccine would also work for women who are already infected by preventing the actual cancer itself! You'd still be infected, but the cancer wouldn't be there. It also prevents it from spreading! It's due for approval with the FDA next year. We'll have to wait and see what happens!

Yep! I was so excited when I saw that news that I got myself suspended for posting the article about it on here.

Good News ladies... Now we can finally stop worrying about pre-cancerious cells and stay up on the vaccine.

I'm not sure how that works for someone if they alread are infected with the HPV virus that they should be able to take the vaccine still.

Re: Vaccine. . .

For someone who already has the virus, the vaccine does not kill the virus but it does stop the actual pre-cancers and the actual cancer itself from forming. You'd still be infected, but you wouldn't be contagious and you wouldn't have ANY cancerous/precancerous changes. They are also advising that if you are married, that you're husband/wife receive the same vaccine so that they will not become contagious to you after you've already received your shot. I believe that this vaccination will be administered through booster shots given in a series of every 3 months (I'm not sure about how long).
