HPV causes cancer: Please start over. It may be of benefit. Get all three doses on time. I do not know what the real pap smear results are but there is growing evidence that hpv vaccine can be of assistance in preventing progression of disease.

Please finish series: The gardisil includes 4 strains, 2 that involve visible warts and 2 that are associated with cancer. If you complete your series you can protect yourself from strains which you have not acquired so far. His warts strains are a cosmetic more than a cancer worry, but he may carry non wart strains.You should have regular pap tests in the future regardless of vaccine use.
