More like 80% over the course of a sexually active lifetime.

But really, this doesn't surprise me all that much. Keep in mind that a vast majority of cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV as well.

Oh, and there's a vaccine for the strains of HPV most strongly linked to cancer. A vaccine which the anti-vaccination nuts oppose, of course
