A member asked:
Can you tell me if i have had a hpv vaccination are i still at risk of catching it if i have sex?

Depends: The full series includes 3 injections. If you were never exposed to the strainses in the vaccine prior to the full series, you are likely protected from the strains in the vaccine. However, prior exposure may have given you hpv and it can lay dormant in tissues for years.

Protected 90%: If you have competed the series of three doses of HPV Vaccines you are protected 90% You have 10% risk of catching the virus and a very small risk of getting genital warts If both partners are vaccinated the risk is further reduced to a minimal level
