90% of HPV infections are cleared by the immune system within a year of infection.

My sources say 24 months, and that data is from a study in the US women who were students at a private college, i.e. from a very affluent and health population whose immune systems are not subject to much stress. It  may not be fully applicable in less affluent populations.

In any case, some women will clear the infection and some will not. those who do not are at increased risk of cervical cancer. Women who repeatedly reinfect will likewise be more at risk.

Cervical cancer is the #1 most common cancer in women in Thailand and directly linked to the high prevalence of HPV in this population. Which is why the Ministry of Public Helasth is seeking to introduce the vaccine.

True, two years.

Same partner for years,plus others....all report "as clean as a whistle"   read up on gential warts anyway,not cancer causing

Genital warts, or more accurately the HPV virus which causes them, most definitely do cause cancer of the cervix in women.

A vaccine against HPV for women was recently developed for this very reason and there is discussion of making it part of the Thai child immunization schedule. Cervical cancer is a significant cause of death in women in Thailand. The vaccine has to be given before HPV is contacted and is thus advised for girls around age 12.

Since you have been with the same partner for a long time and not using condoms, this woman almost certainly has HPV and is thus at above average risk of cervical cancer. She needs to get annual pap smears, it could save her life.

As for "others", you are indeed exposing them to risk by not using condoms.  A risk they are unaware of.

90% of HPV infections are cleared by the immune system within a year of infection.

regarding the "value creation": have 2-3 employees make the websites in Thailand, then sell them to an offshore company (yours), or order the work from your Thai company, billed by the hour.

Not one in a million.

Correct Sheryl, sorry for the mistake, I put a zero too much.
The correct statistical odds are one in 100.000

If the prevalence rate is estimated at 20%, the odds are still only one in 10.000

In Topic: British Teacher In A Coma After Brutal Assault In Pattaya

I think we can all agree that Pattaya is no more unsafe than dodgy parts of big western cities, and less safe than other cities in Thailand.

Getting back to the subject now, I'd like to say that this attack of the teacher seems very mysterious to say the least.

No other information than:
- he got out of the car for unknown reasons
- was beaten using a metal bar
- the perp is supposedly a westerner

all this remains very very mysterious

I hope the victim recovers
