1. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States, and can be transmitted without intercourse;
b. Although most HPV infections are benign and many strains clear on their own, certain strains have serious consequences, including cervical cancer and genital warts;
c. HPV has been detected in over 90% of cervical cancer cases, and the American Cancer Society estimates that over 9,700 new cases of HPV-related cervical cancer will occur in the United States this year; and
d. It is appropriate to take measures through education to significantly reduce medical problems and deaths attributable to HPV.
