medically, not really. the vaccine acts the same. epidemiology wise, it makes it more effective, assuming the correct coverage.

I would just suggest that stating that an entire continent of different races/culture/religions "having multiple simultaneous partners" smells just a little bit of "savages over there", which given that we are talking about _evidence_ based outcomes, jars somewhat.

That's not a response. The multiple simultaneous sexual partners are relevant to the fact that prevalence of the disease in Africa is very high. This is not a vaccine-related question, so the action of the vaccine can't speak to it.

Funny, if you look at my comment, you should see that it refers to "the much higher prevalence" of this behavior in Africa.

		I do, and I don't see a source. More prevalent in comparison to which other continent? the indian sub continent? south asia? Does Ghana have a higher or lower prevalence compared to benin, egypt or eritrea?
