Has anyone read the study? Severe side effects in almost every patient, and a 50% cure rate of CIN. Existing treatments for CIN have side effects in about 1% of patients and with a 90% cure rate: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15678-cervical-intraepithelial-neoplasia-cin/management-and-treatment https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15678-cervica... Moreover, as the above makes clear, curing HPV is not necessary (especially with such an invasive technique) - only 1% of low grade CIN (which itself is a subset of all HPV) progress to cervical cancer.

Thank you for readying the actual study. News outlets are political and have their narratives. If there is no hard boiled source, it impossible to tell from one source what the actual facts are. Almost no one will compare different sources to filter the truth, most just stick with the outlets they used to.

> Moreover, as the above makes clear, curing HPV is not necessary There's a body of evidence that HPV might be a factor of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative conditions. If that turns out to be true, curing HPV will be very much necessary. https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(18)30421-5 https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(18)30421-5

  That article doesn't reference HPV.

    My bad. HHV != HPV. I have been misreading the OP article. I'd delete the above if it was within time limit.
