A member asked:
I have hpv16.my boyfriend is going to be vaccinated with gardsil but.. can we have unprotected sex after the first shot in we need to wait 3 shots?

HPV: It is best to always use condoms since they will prevent other STD's. Unfortunately, HPV is not completely prevented by the condoms, so the vaccine is an excellent idea. For best protection, get the HPV vaccine, use condoms regularly, and have an effective method of birth control if you don't want to be pregnant.
