no matter how well you educate your daughters you cannot guarantee their future life partners are so well educated.
I know of one person quite close to me who had an unfaithful husband. After 2 kids in a "committed" relationship you expect that you don't have to worry about STIs.
I'm not in favour of this HPV vaccine. But I will encourage my daughter to go for a better vaccine when the time comes.
Cervical cancer is a silent killer, screening for which is ineffective due to NHS worries about costs (also the reason for the inferior vaccine).
I will encourage my daughter to take up any way of protecting herself against any STI, just as when she reaches that time in her life to take yearly sexual health MOTs - privately of course as the NHS believes that reactive health care is more cost effective than proactive when it comes to sexual health.

They must be a promiscuous lot up there in Shetland if they need yearly sexual MOTs

All we get invited for is the smear test

no more than you'd expect in the rest of Europe.
reproductive health is a difficult one. It's no wonder we have such high fertility treatment rates in this country.
Or any wonder that so many women go through unnecessary treatment if they hadn't been denied their smear tests.
