Dear Editor:
Thank you for this article. More people need to be making women and men aware of how important it is to be having regular pap smears. I agree that men should encourage the women they love to educate and protect themselves from HPV and cervical cancer. Most people do not know or care to know that HPV exists until they are dealing with it everyday of their lives. Many healthcare providers are not even informing their patients about Gardisal. Please continue to provide awareness.
So again, thank you.
