Re: HPV VaccineFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Fri Jun 9 11:51:29 2006
It's not marketed to prevent HPV, only "some" HPV that cause cervical cancer. We will continue to see Condyloma. Ronald E. Ainsworth, MD, FACOG -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of RModugno@aol.com Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 8:29 AM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: HPV Vaccine In a message dated 6/9/2006 10:59:08 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, goldman@calweb.com writes: It is for a disease that is 100% preventable though reasonably most people choose not to stay celibate for their entire life. I certainly would not consider vaccinating my 5 year old daughter 1) How is it 100% preventable? It has been postulated that HPV is a genitotrophic virus and that it can be passed on through the maternal birth canal, not only to the upper respiratory tract. 2) Why would you vaccinate a 5 year old? Maybe I'm influenced by the fact that I trained in South Africa, where carcinoma of the cervix is the most common gynecological cancer seen in the Black African female. Approximately 700 new cases are seen yearly at the Dept of OB/GYN, King Edward VIII Hospital in Durban. The majority when I was training presented in Stage 3 and beyond.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
