I read some of the comments that people made on the article. Though I didn't read them all (there were apx 80 last night) and it sounded like there were some ignorant people that made ugly comments, I was surprised and encouraged by many positive and understanding comments made.

I do hope that article will reach a wide audience. I think it's so important that the connection be made between anal cancer and HPV and also I think it's great that the article addressed the stigma and discomfort that might prevent a person from getting timely followup and how we need to change those attitudes.
