Sexually active young women in their teens is not a major risk factor for human papillomavirus

Adolescent sexual activity is not a critical factor for infection with the human papilloma virus that causes cervical cancer. So you can not make a selection for the vaccination of girls against the virus to their sexual lives are based, say U.S. experts. According to Dr. Amanda F. Dempsey of the University of Michigan, a selection for vaccinations lead to good results. Researchers under her leadership have examined the relationship between lifestyle and the emergence of young human papillomavirus (HPV). The study included 3,180 women aged 12 years. All participants were tested for HPV. Experts estimate the risk factors for HPV in the period 1994 to 1995. As a risk factor for sex in adolescence, a large number of sexual partners, age. Virgins have risk factors for problems in school, regular consumption of alcohol and smoking were taken into account. Repeated tests have shown that the incidence of HPV infection in adults regardless of adolescent sexuality. Scientists believe that not the way of life of girls have certain decisions about the development of their HPV infection. Therefore, the selection of adolescents for vaccination against the virus made in accordance with such risk factors is impractical. On the other hand increases the risk of acquiring HPV sex because of its high prevalence in the population. And with the help of the vaccine, a reliable defense.
