Have A List Of Reasons Why You Aren’t Vaccinating Your Child Against HPV? Knock “Permission to Have Wild Sex” Off the List.

And maybe if she thinks she is safe to have sex, she’ll engage risky, promiscuous sex.

But a wide-reaching study on the matter by the Canadian Medical Association found that there was no significant increase in risky sexual behaviors between teenage girls who had received the HPV vaccine beginning in the 8th grade and those who did not.
