How many teenage girls have been diagnosed with HPV?

It is reported that 1 in 4 teenage girls has at least one STD, in a study done by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There is no data at the moment of how many teenage girls get diagnosed with HPV every year, and even if there is, it most likely is underestimated due to many people not reporting it out of fear.

HPV (genetal human papollomavirus) is a somewhat mysterious type of STD. There are over 40 types of HPVs and have different or no symptoms. A person can carry the disease for years and never know it.So it's difficult to get a clear number of cases of teenage girls afflicted.

But it's believed that at least 50% of the population will be infected by at least one HPV in their lifetime. And in 2008, it was estimated that approximately 20% of teenage girls aged 14-19 have a type of HPV. Of the 6 million new cases per year, approximately 3/4 of them will be diagnosed in people age 15-24.

HPV is believed to cause cervical cancer. A vaccine called Gardasil, from the Merck Corporation, is available and is highly suggested for young women to prevent contracting an HPV. Another vaccine available is Cervarix, manufactured by the GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals.

It was FDA approved in 2009. They are both administered in three separate injections over time. The vaccine is almost 100% effective, however it does not have any effect on an HPV already contracted and its protection against other HPVs is diminished.

It's important that the vaccine be administered to the person prior to he/she beginning to engage in sexual activity.

It has been estimated in recent years that close to 75 percent of all people of reproductive age have may have been exposed to (or infected with) the human papillomavirus (HPV) at some point during a sexual encounter. Approximately 6.2 million people become infected with genital HPV annually, including close to 20 million Americans. These are shockingly high rates, but the even greater shock is that many of the infected population do not even know that they have contracted a sexually transmitted virus until an abnormality is detected during a health care visit at some point in the future.

Since the virus causes virtually no symptoms in many cases, people infected with HPV may not display any health problems until the infection is cleared by the immune system. However, constant reinfection poses a high risk of damaging cells in the cervical lining, and leading to different cases of cervical cancer in the future.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
