A member asked:

Can i vaccine against hpv if i am 31y and i got hpv, would it make me safe from other hpv, which i don't have? is it hpv vaccine universal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HPV: The two vaccines available only are effective at protecting from the subtypes most commonly associated with cervical cancer. They are fda approved for use between age 13 and 26. At age 31 you're likely to have already been exposed to many subtypes of hpv, but you can talk to your doctor about getting the vaccine if you wish, though that would be outside fda recommendations ("off label").
