One Less Commercial

I wanted to get everyones view on the one less campaign. Does anyone else feel as if they push it in your face like I could be one less.. OH WHY THANK YOU.. I ask to contract this ... What about helping one more and understanding that its not peoples fault that they get it. I just think its a rough commercial for the fact that 75 % of people under 25 have it. what the hell people probly in the commerical probly have it .. hmm i donno frustrated me ..

I completely understand. While it is good that they are getting the word out its another painful reminder for the rest of us who have it.

Hi Aishy,
OMG! I felt the same way about the commerical. :) I try to tune it out when it comes on, but I am glad they're getting the word out.

Aishy I feel the same way. It makes me sad, upset because it is a constant reminder that we are victim to HPV but it is good at the same time the word is getting out and also it just tells us how common this must already be.

I mostly makes me sad that I contracted HPV before there was a vaccine. I don't know how good it is, but I sure could have used one! And if I ever have a daughter, she's getting one. I can understand being sensitive about HPV, because it's not something that you share with everyone. There is a huge stigma attached to STI's. But eventually, we all have to accept that we have it, it's not going anywhere (unless to remission) and we would want to prevent others from getting it any way we can. It may feel like a slap in the face, but don't take it personally.

I don't like those commercials either. They should try to think of a new slogan. I feel crummy when they come on.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
