Just recently, HPV (Human Papillomavirus) has been in the news more than ever. I first heard of it 3 years ago when I was interviewing a prospective egg donor. I accepted the donor into the Heartfelt Egg Donation Program after researching and learning that Human Papillomavirus does not affect the eggs of a woman and having the virus does not automatically disqualify a woman from donating eggs.
Now that I have daughters and I pre-screen potential egg donors daily, I'm always interested in updates and making sure I have all the facts regarding the quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. I found this webcast that was recently posted by SRM (Sexuality, Reproduction & Menopause), a clinical publication for the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. It provides comprehensive information about HPV and the vaccine. I would suggest that those who have daughters, are young women considering egg donation or prospective parents reviewing donor candidates, take a moment to learn more about HPV through this informative webcast.
