Why? Why do we need to ignore that?
Lets put it in context though. How do you know that the rate for teenagers isn't do to education about HPV.. and other transmitted diseases. Especially because condom use among teenagers has increased from 46% in 1991 to 59% in 2013.
and what has lowering of the rate of infection in teenagers done for the actual health of the community especially when the infection rate (those that have been infected with one or more of the forms of HPV) is about 75% of the population?
.
Uhh, it's not like HPV is a brand new disease we just started teaching kids about. Nor is "disease is a risk of sexual activity" a new concept.
And as for what it does? uhh, less cancer?
the majority of the drop in infection rates is attributable to the vaccine, and this particular disease is responsible for a lot of cancer cases. Is that not good enough?
