Abstract
A common concern among parents is that vaccination against Human Papillomavirus (HPV) will increase sexual risk-taking. However, vaccine initiation was not associated with risky sexual behavior among females 18-26 years of age with and without a history of childhood cancer, whereas having never been married was predictive (p<.05).
