Reasonable idea: The vaccine can only protect you from HPV strains to which you are not infected.Since the present vaccine contains 9 strains, there is a good chance you have never been exposed to most of them. Getting the vaccine now in not only reasonable but has a good chance of simplifying your life over many years.
