Friday, November 3, 2006 at 4:49 AM Health experts say HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, but many infected people may not be aware of it

Issue date: 11/2/06 Section: News Six of every 10 women at the University may be infected with a potentially deadly sexually transmitted infection. But, chances are, many of them don't know it and may never find out. Human papillomavirus, or HPV, causes genital warts and, in some cases, cervical cancer. It is the most pervasive sexually transmitted infection nationwide, and is the most dangerous for college-aged students, health experts say. While a new vaccine might help prevent cervical cancer caused by HPV, studies show that college students - the most vulnerable sexually active demographic because they may have many sexual partners - lack the necessary awareness to protect themselves from the viral infection. "You've all got the virus," said Dr. Drew Pinsky, host of "Loveline," the nationally syndicated radio talk show.

• jputerba@northernstar.info ST. LOUIS | Not many individuals see themselves making a career out of talking to people about sex. Made famous by the radio and television show "Loveline" alongside Adam Carolla, Dr. Drew Pinsky did just that; answering questions about sex and problems that stem from it. When it comes to college students, Pinsky feels it is particularly important to learn about these issues and to keep them in the mind's eye. Last Thursday, Dr. Drew spoke in St. Louis to college journalists from around the country about the sexual health of young people. "It is absolutely critical to shed light on this major sexual health issue," Dr. Drew told a room full of future media members. "Anyone who is, or ever has been, sexually active is at risk. It's important that people are armed with the information they need."
