I am sorry if my point was taken out of context, but HPV has other routes of transmission. Even with abstinence, one may still become infected through any of the other routes. I would agree that abstinence is a good preventive and while good, it does not provide 100% protection, but neither does Gardasil.--[[User:Able806|Able806]] 12:13, 13 January 2009 (EST)

:But none the less, abstinence is still better than the vaccine. No costs, no unwanted side effects. These factors would also have the feedback effect of encouraging abstinence in those who previously may not have considered it; so there is a bonus for both the individual and general morality in society.
