What you said. And your 16 year old sexually active daughter could be smart and use condoms and be on birth control and still contract HPV. It's about the only one that's regularly contracted skin to skin rather than mucus membrane or open wound. That's why there was such freaking out about the vaccine: "HOW WILL WE SCARE CHILDREN INTO KEEPING IT INTO THEIR PANTS WITH A VACCINE!!?!?!?!?!"

I would say that NOBODY deserves HPV or any STDs. Using the example of rape, however, gets to the people who are incapable of beliveng that their daughter or son will get horizontal with anything humonoid.
