	HPV can give women cervical cancer, but men can get HPV it too and they sure as hell can't get cervical cancer. Really it just causes genital warts.

	white on gray might have been a poor choice for colors

	Good quiz. There's a lot of potential for sequels. However, HPV does not only affect the genital tract of humans. It can cause warts on every part of the epidermis and mucous membranes. In the name of accuracy, I would recommend that you change the answer simply to "warts" since "genital warts" is too specific and "cervical cancer" is a secondary complication of the virus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_papillomavirus#Warts

	Would be good to accept just "sleeping sickness"

	hmmm, last i checked the Human Immunodeficiency Virus was HIV and the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome was AIDS

	Sweet. Sporcle needs more disease quizzes.

	@Strattosphere: HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. Depletion of CD4 T cells by HIV infection of those cells leads to immunodeficiency in many HIV-infected individuals. AIDS is the syndrome that develops when CD4 T cell counts drop so low that infections normally controlled by the host immune system flourish and quickly lead to the demise of the host.

	Should accept "sleeping sickness." HPV and HIV should both be replaced.

	@JimKatz HPV could be replaced with just 'warts', but I don't see why HIV should be.
