Study: Condoms protect well against cancer-causing virus (http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/06/22/condoms.hpv.ap/).

A synopsis from the National Institutes of Health on the ALTS trial (the ALTS trial is a landmark trial that looked at detecting, triaging, and treating dysplasia. It is a highly regarded study.
