HPV Vaccine Not A Cause Of Promiscuity

HPV vaccine is a preventative measure against cervical cancer. The Cancer society recommends that girls and women between the ages of 11 and 45 be vaccinated to reduce the risk of the disease.

The shots apparently work best when started before the person becomes sexually active, but parents raised concern that they may be a cause of promiscuity.


A study that used medical outcomes data to examine consequences of human papillomavirus(HPV) vaccine, found that the vaccine does not cause promiscuity in girls.

The study involved 1,400 girls in a health program in Atlanta.

Researchers looked for markers of sexually activity after vaccination against HPV. They examined records of up to 3 years on whether the girls had:
  • Sought birth control advice
  • Tests for sexually transmitted disease
  • Tests for pregnancy
  • Had become pregnant


The human papillomavirus is a leading cause of cervical cancer.
