Disney Princesses Go To The Gyno And Live Happily Ever After

She’s right. While most cases of HPV clear up on their own, the virus is also responsible for genital warts and some cancers, including cervical cancer. Often, the virus shows no signs or symptoms, so it is passed on unknowingly.

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease, and it can be spread by having vaginal, anal or oral sex with a person who has the virus. It’s so prevalent, in fact, that almost every sexually active man and woman get the virus at some point, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

While a vaccine for HPV has been available since 2006, immunization rates are still low — though growing. As of 2014, 60 percent of girls ages 13 -17 had at least one dose of the vaccine and nearly 40 percent had all three recommended doses, according to the CDC. Rates among boys and men are lower: As of 2014, 41 percent of boys received at least one dose of the vaccine and 21 percent had all three doses.  

But if the princesses can do it, so can the rest of us. 

Not all of Sepulveres’ princess propaganda are focused on HPV. As you can see in the images, Jasmine talks with her doctor about responsible family planning and Cinderella is getting a standard STD examination.
