I think i have hpv warts. i have had the first shot of gardisil. i want to know if valtrex (valacyclovir) will help get rid of the warts?

No: Valtrex (valacyclovir) is a Rx for herpes outbreaks, not HPV warts. You need to see a MD for specific HPV Rx and evaluation to be sure that the possible infection has not affected the cervix which can cause a "pre-cancerous" condition if that occurs.(CIN) No, CIN is not how you got the infection(sin), but represents Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia.

Not for HPV: valtrex (valacyclovir) is an antiviral medication used for herpes infection, and will have no impact on viral warts. Different treatments are available for HPV.
