This article is quite idealistic. Yeah, it would be great if all women got pap smears but it's definitely not how it is in the real world. While I don't agree with every woman of childbearing age receiving the vaccine, it needs to be a serious consideration for risky groups. The author does not take into account that one of the groups of people with skyrocketing new diagnoses of HIV are young heterosexual minority woman, who will, if transmitted strains 16 and 18, progress to cervical cancer in less than half the time that an HIV negative woman would.
