A member asked:
I had slightly irregular results to my pap smear. however, i got the hpv vaccine many years ago. am i contagious when it comes to sexual intercourse?

HPV: If the cervical changes were due to hpv this can be communicated to a sexual partner. The vaccine does not provide protection against all strains, but most of those causing cancer are included. No vaccine is 100% effective. Discuss this with your gynecologist.
