Question 1

if you do the hpv vaccine does it show if you have had sex before or no?

Accepted Answer

: No it does not

Question 2

i am a 66 yo male who often has oral sex with different partners. should i get the hpv vaccine as protection?

Accepted Answer

That ship sailed: The target age for vaccine use is 9-26, with heavy emphasis on administration before sexual activity starts.It provides no treatment for or protection against strains of the germ you already have.Of the dozen or so cancer related strains, 7 are in the latest vaccine. If you are considering paying out of pocket it is pricy. At more than $200/dose physician cost X 3 doses.

Question 3

is the hpv vaccine good if you won't be having sex til married?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Having your immune system ready to resist the cancer or genital lesion causing strains long before exposure gives you one less issue to worry about. Realize that in ones lifetime there can be exposures where you are not aware of a partners hidden past or not a willing participant.Cancer is a high price to pay for not being prepaired.

Question 4

i am a male 29 yr with  lots of female sex partners ( always use condoms). i want to get the hpv vaccine, but i feel like that would be a waste? would you recommend that i do it even tho i hhave  had a lot of sex with my age group, and older women?

Accepted Answer

: Get HPV vaccine. You will protect yourself and your partners. 
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get  Covid vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 5

is giving your child gardasil hpv vaccine kind of like giving them permission to have sex?

Accepted Answer

Not in my opinion: You need to discuss that with your child and their doctor, it is to prevent hpv when they do have sex which hopefully won't be until they are older which depends on you and her !

Question 6

do i have to get an hpv vaccine if i do not have sex or even a boyfriend?

Accepted Answer

: The vaccine is a way to prepare your body with protection against cancer and genital wart causing strains of HPV. That protection will be important at any time in the future that you engage in intercourse whether willing or not. Most insurance companies that will cover the cost will not after age 29. Must you? No. Good idea? Yes.

Question 7

what strains does the hpv test look for? does everyone over 30 have co testing during their annual? i have the hpv vaccine if my partner has hpv can i still test negative if its a strain that is covered by the vaccine?

Accepted Answer

: Everybody gets HPV, but most HPV infections become silent and undetectable. A negative test means no active infection, but says nothing about possible longstanding, inactive infections. If your partner has HPV, you can safely assume you were exposed and possibly infected. A negative test result cannot say whether you were never infected, or had it but the virus is now inactive.

Question 8

if you have had the hpv vaccine and have sex with an infected person can you still get it?

Accepted Answer

Gardasil indications: Merck, the vaccine manufacturer, recommends vaccination for people age 9-26 years for prevention of some of the strains of HPV that cause genital warts and certain cancers.  It will not treat the infection if it has already been transmitted, but may offer protection from getting infected with other strains.

Question 9

does the hpv vaccine protect you against oral hpv also? can having sex over and over with someone with hpv overcome the vaccine and you get it?

Accepted Answer

: The vaccine protects against new infections with all 9 of the HPV types covered by the vaccine, regardless of body site:  equally effective against oral, genital, anal or any other infection. And no, repeated exposures do not overcome the vaccine.

Question 10

does the hpv vaccine protect me forever? if i am with someone with hpv does every time we have sex does that increase my odds to get it? i have no symptoms after 10 months with him?

Accepted Answer

: HPV vaccine only protects you from the stains in the vaccine. If your partner is infected with a different stain, you are at risk of acquiring it.
