Today in the newspaper, there was a story that the CDC is recommending that boys age 13-21 receive the HPV shot that girls were recommended to get in 2006. I found this to be interesting because I think it is a good idea that everyone gets vaccines in order to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. I think that with the new technologies that we have any step towards a cure against sexually transmitted diseases are in the right direction. With the current status of shots preventing HPV, someday soon I can only hope that there will be a shot for HIV/AIDS.
