Dunno but ...: You can have a test done for antibodies that you have against any of a number of several strains of HPV. The newest vaccine in US protects against 9 strains of HPV. HPV-16 causes 50% of cervical cancers, HPV-18 causes 25%. You have to get 3 shots- time 0, 1 month, 6 month. In US they recommend starting at 10 years of age for both boys and girls.
