"About 12,000 women are diagnosed each year with cervical cancer, and about a third of them die.

'Almost all the studies show that condoms do not prevent the transmission of the HPV virus, per se," he said. "We have multiple studies, and only one study shows some risk reduction, and that was in prostitutes.'"

Lovely.
