August 11, 2025Aug 11 Good article. They forget to mention that nowadays, there is a vaccine against HPV. That vaccine didn't exist 40 years ago. So that's a vaccine against throat cancer, anal cancer, cancer of the penis and cervical cancer. The last one is almost always caused by HPV. Everybody should be vaccinated before puberty, ie around age 10, boys and girls. The vaccine (eg Cervarix) is easily available in Thailand, but expensive (in rich countries, it's paid for by the government). All private hospitals offer it, and can give more advice. Foreigners taking care of kids in Thailand should take note. A friend had a small precancerous growth on the glans penis, caused by HPV, when he was 29. Diagnosis by biopsy, treatment first with a cream that works like flamethrower, and then by circumcision, all very exciting.

There are about half a dozen HPV vaccines on the market, not all available in Thailand, covering different strains of HPV. Gardasil9 is probably the best as it offers protection against the main strains of HPV highly associated with cancer. Various "health" sites mention 150-200-odd strains of HPV, but I have only found medical literature listing about 80-odd. HPV 16 and 18 seem to be the strains most significantly related to cancer, with 12 other strains also having a high risk. The Gardasil9 vaccine is a 2 or 3 course vaccine (depending on age) - each course costs about Baht 10,000.

Michael Douglas is obviously not a medical authority - or was this said in jest?

The important thing is to vaccinate BEFORE any sexual activity, ie before puberty. Don't be fooled and think "my step daughter is a good girl, I taught her it's illegal to have sex as a minor, so we will vaccinate her when she turns 18". 10 y.o. is a reasonable age.
