A study reported in The New England Journal of Medicine that the consistent use of condoms protects woman against human papillomavirus, which causes cervical and other female cancers, along with warts.
The study, which was conducted among eager students at the University of Washington in Seattle, found that women whose male partners used condoms every time had less than half the rate of infection as women whose partners used the prophylactics less than 5 percent of the time.
Dr. James R. Allen, the president of the American Social Health Association, which is dedicated to the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, commented, “The findings are definitive."
The study clearly indicates how silly anyone can wind up looking who puts himself on the wrong side of science.
The question that now hangs over lovers everywhere is, how long will the usual “condomnation” continue to condemn women to the merciless ways of the cancer-causing virus?
