Is it true that the hpv vaccine is barely effective and that the chances of preventing you from getting cancer are low? is there any study that proves that?

NO.: This is not at all true. The vaccine most doctor's are giving- Gardasil- has been shown in studies to prevent 98-100% of patients receiving the vaccine from ending up with the common vaginal and cervical cancers and anogenital warts. If you need studies, look up the FUTURE 1 and FUTURE II trials. I HIGHLY recommend this vaccine to both male and female teens.

HPV vaccine : The vaccine is extremely effective and more information can be found at the CDC and AAP websites .

HPV vaccine: Studies in men and women show efficacy against lesions related to HPV-6, 11, 16 &18 to be >90%. The vaccine contains only strains which have been implicated in formation of secondary cancers. In addition to reducing the risk of infection and cancers due to these strains it also reduces the chance of potentially infected people from transmitted infection to others. It is highly effective.

Absolutely not true!: Studies show that when HPV vaccine is given to women who have never been exposed to the HPV virus, they were nearly completely protected against the HPV Genotypes 16 and 18 which are responsible for 80% of cervical cancers worldwide. The protection lasted up to 8.5 years. **Gardasil also protects against genital/anal warts and protects against cancers of the vagina,vulva,throat,tongue and anus.
