Vaccinate Discussion - Should we?

[kpower]

I was looking into information about STD/general disease prevention and came across info on getting vaccinated for Hepatitis B and HPV. Hepatitis B can damage liver, and HPV can cause cervical cancer in women if you pass it to them. I was also interested in HIV prevention meds, PrEP, but this seems to be something different from what I had in mind.

I was hoping there would be some magical vaccine that'll help me stay clean, but I guess we don't live in a perfect world yet.

I was also thinking about traveling to Asia in the near future with a big purpose to monger bb, so maybe I'll see what other things I'll need to look into before that happens.

Just wanted to know if this is something you do for our hobby, and if not then is this something you'll consider doing?

There maybe something of an effective HIV vacine in the future based on the following

Not how long it will take before it gets to the marketplace.

Good catch. I remember seeing this before but haven't looked into it recently. Thanks for sharing!
