    HUGE NEWS: "10 years after vaccination was introduced, we detected no HPV16/18 infections in 16-18 yearolds (0% of n=584)" HPV 16/18 cause ~70% of cervical cancer That's an ~amazing~ result https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/858872/hpr0220_HPV_2018.pdf …pic.twitter.com/zsYtqdGECp

        This is from data for women getting a test for chlamydia - by the numbers, the highest risk population for HPV That there is ~no~ infection among these people is a massive win

        The early predictions - that we might eliminate cervical cancer altogether - no longer seem so far fetched

        Note: this is similar to the trend seen in Australia, which has had a nationwide HPV vaccination program since 2005pic.twitter.com/KQxYtxlnv0

        Note 2: In Australia, this has also resulted in a massive drop in the rates of high-grade cervical abnormalities in women who received the vaccinepic.twitter.com/mcCgKoyp2r

        Other things worth noting: - no evidence in the UK data that HPV 16/18 are being replaced with other cancer-causing strains of HPV - no evidence that HPV vaccination changes sexual behaviour (from other studies)
