I don't think there's anything that could encourage sexual activity any more than simple teenage hormones already do
Debate rages on use of cervical cancer vaccine / While almost 100% effective, some contend use condones teen sex
A new vaccine that protects against cervical cancer has set up a clash between health advocates who want to use the shots aggressively to prevent thousands of malignancies and social conservatives who say immunizing teen-agers could encourage sexual activity.

"Just because you wear a seat belt doesn't mean you're seeking out an accident," Kaye said.
Thinking of this... If some people opt out of the immunization, they'd be the only ones getting HPV.
I could see it now... Average parents warning their daughters, "Stay away from Timmy, his parents are conservative Christians, so he probably has HPV."
Well, it'd probably be Theresa instead of Timmy, but you're right. Anyway, thanks for stopping by my blog! This is a very well done site! How long have you been doing this?

Well, my thinking is that it's boys that spread HPV to girls. (Last I heard, lesbians were less than 1% of the population, after all. hehe.)
Though I guess the average parent would've vaccinated their daughter, so they wouldn't have to worry so much about Timmy the conservative Christian non-vax debaucherous HPV infected suitor giving her HPV.
But I was more or less thinking it could be looked at like a stigma. (The irony of the stigma being that only conservative Christians would have the STD HPV, because it had otherwise been erradicated because everyone else had been vaccinated against it.)
