Risks of release from competition of more pathogenic strains? • Requires cross immunity • Requires that cross immunity not generated by vaccine • Requires that frequency dependent selection is limiting incidence of infection • What is additional influence of vaccination interacting with screening? • What is the impact of competing hazards in success of an HPV vaccine?

Conclusions • STD vaccines with ‘limited’ efficacy could provide powerful intervention tools. • Impact of an HSV vaccine depends upon impact of viral shedding. • Targeting unlikely to be useful for vaccines against viral STDs. • HPV vaccination strategy needs to include ongoing effective screening. • Little risk of competitive release of virulent HPV types
