Engineers have designed a microfluidic device they call a "tree-on-a-chip," which mimics the pumping mechanism of trees and plants. Like its natural counterparts, the chip operates passively, requiring no moving parts or external pumps. by vilnius2013 in science

HPV, a sexually transmitted virus, can cause deadly cervical cancer and head/neck cancer. In Australia, a public health campaign which gave HPV vaccines to girls and women for free has dramatically reduced the prevalence of HPV in the public, even among men who were never vaccinated. by vilnius2013 in science

[–]vilnius2013[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not terribly familiar with HPV. From what I understand, most people clear the infection, which would imply they successfully develop an immune response. Some people don't clear the infection, which would mean the virus lives with them for a very long time (maybe forever). It is these people who could go on to develop cancer.

So yeah, apparently, by age 26, you've already been exposed. And either your body successfully fought it off -- or it didn't, and you still have it. Either way, I guess the vaccine makes no difference at that point.

Well, sure. The question is of cost. If adding boys doesn't increase herd immunity all that much, then it may not be worth it (from a purely cost-benefit viewpoint). I think the researchers plan on looking into this.

However, as a guy, I would think preventing head/neck cancer would be totally worth receiving the vaccine.

There is currently no approved clinical test for HPV. That doesn't mean that biomedical researchers can't detect HPV. The Australian team used PCR, followed by a genotyping assay. That's standard stuff.

The volunteers swabbed their penises and submitted it for a DNA test. It's roughly just as accurate as if the doctor swabs it.
