My partner got diagnosed with cervical cancer two years ago, and there is high likelihood of HPV having been the culprit. One year after chemo- and radiotherapy she is cancer free.
She had her treatment in Europe, so contrary to the article's claims, she did not go bankrupt. In fact she did not have to pay much more than a small administrative fee (~150$).
She had missed the mass national child vaccination campaign against HPV by just a couple of years, and so never got vaccinated.
If you are a parent, please, look into if vaccinating your child (both sexes benefit for the vaccination) against HPV is possible. If you are not yet sexually active, please look into getting a vaccine for your self.
It is one of the only actual preventitive cures for a specific cancer type we have, and we do not celebrate that fact nearly enough.
