No: The HPV "shot" or vaccine is not a treatment.It can prevent HPV if you take it before exposure. You might want to get the vaccine to protect you from many other strains you could get later. Once you have it, it will stay in your system. If its the cancer strains, regular checkups/pap smears are needed.If wart strains,it may clear or benefit from treatment.
