Too hypothetical: Just vaccinate everyone eligible. Gardasil-9 vaccine prevents infection from the worst strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer, genital warts, anal warts, and anal cancer due to those strains. The protective antibodies one produces from the vaccine flow in the bloodstream to everywhere. HPV viruses have location preferences, meaning they don't tend to infect locations they aren't meant to be in.
