That's not good: Not good, for many reasons. First, everybody can ask for a vaccine, and many will qualify to get it, thus getting rid of HPV anxiety. Secondly, we now know that excessive cleanliness is detrimental to health. We humans need a good balance of microbes ON ourselves and IN our guts. Thirdly, a beautifully smooth, intact skin surface sheds germs, chemicals, etc... Don't mess up the skin surface.
