As it stands now, it looks as if the HPVA has claimed to be THE
international HPV association. At this point, we should consider as
individual national organisations to each send a letter to the HPVA in
which we state that we do not recognise them as the international
association, and that any world record keeping will be organised by the
IHPVA as it was formed in 1996. It is in the interest of the international
hpv community to have an association in which the majority of
organisations is represented.
