There is some evidence for vertical transmission, mother to child. Lack of data as yet, but seems to be low probability. Thus, even assuming 100% infection rate for mothers, the number of children who would be HPV positive as virgins would be under 10%. It follows that a virgin daughter could marry a virgin male who could infect her. This suggests testing for couples interested in keeping HPV out of their lives. Rather than mass vaccinating female children, perhaps we could test mothers at birth and vaccinate only children exposed. Since this is poal I should also remind you of your status as a homosexual person of african ancestry....
