The Missing STraIn: A Talk About HPV
Issues That Matter- The Missing STraIn: A Talk About HPV
Believe it or not, the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the country; nearly half of all sexually active folks will contract a strain of the virus at some point in their lives, but too many don't even know what it is.
Needless to say, we think it's really important to educate New Yorkers on HPV, so we're hosting an event about the virus, the vaccine, and some of the policy questions surrounding the topic.
Who:
Dr. Albert George Thomas, MD, MS, Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Chief of Family Planning Services at Mount Sinai Medical Center
Corinne A. Carey, Attorney, Reproductive Rights Project, New York Civil Liberties Union
Amanda Ramos, Peer Educator for NARAL Pro-Choice New York's Teen Outreach Reproductive Challenge Program
Emily Alexander, Policy and Research Coordinator, National Institute for Reproductive Health
What:
Join us as we learn about the HPV virus, the vaccine and the policy behind both.
When:
Wednesday, November 28th
6:30 until 8:00 pm
Where:
470 Park Avenue South, 7th floor
Located between 31st and 32nd Streets
Please RSVP by November 27 to Debbie at djohnson@prochoiceny.org
or 212-343- 0114 ext. 3525.
Issues That Matter is a forum for discussions with guest speakers exploring how we can protect a woman's right to choose.

JOIN US: November 12 Rally for Affordable Birth Control!
Join NYU: Voices for Choice, NOW-NYU, NYU Law Students for Reproductive Justice at the Birth Control Cri$is Rally!!!
Monday, November 12th
4:45-6pm
Washington Square Park
When the Deficit Reduction Act (passed by Congress in 2005) took effect this year, students and low-income women were left out in the cold! College health centers and safety-net providers, like Planned Parenthood, had previously been able to purchase birth control from drug companies at an extremely discounted rate. But no more. As a result, affordable birth control has become out of reach for many college women. For example, the cost of a pack of birth control on some campuses has risen from $5 to nearly $50 a month!
Send Congress a message to restore access to affordable birth control for college students and low-income women!
Featuring Special Guest Speakers:
U.S. Representative Joseph Crowley
NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn
Meena Shah, NYU Voices for Choice
And others!
