Quote"How is HPV spread? You can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus. It is most commonly spread during vaginal or anal sex. It also spreads through close skin-to-skin touching during sex. A person with HPV can pass the infection to someone even when they have no signs or symptoms.
If you are sexually active, you can get HPV, even if you have had sex with only one person. You also can develop symptoms years after having sex with someone who has the infection. This makes it hard to know when you first got it.
Does HPV cause health problems? In most cases (9 out of 10), HPV goes away on its own within two years without health problems. But when HPV does not go away, it can cause health problems like genital warts and cancer."
Is it even legal for an 8th Grader to have sex? They dont need vaccines, they need jail terms.
it would depend on the state. Also teenagers break laws all the time anyway.
In california no, sex under 18 is not allowed, but as you can see, teen pregnancy obviously still happens. https://californiahealthline.org/multimedia/teen-birth-rate-in-california/
The exceptions are called Romeo and Juliet laws. Link here https://legaldictionary.net/romeo-and-juliet-laws/
