I am interested in the hpv vaccine. i am 29, so older for for the time-frame to get it i believe. also, i e had multiple sexual partners (heterosexual), does this vaccine still provide protection, even if i may have already been exposed?

The present Gardasil 9 includes 7 cancer associated and 2 genital wart strains in its package of protection. It is unlikely you were exposed to or infected by all nine so protection for all other strains would be helpful. You could also be less likely to pass on the strains if you acquire protection from them.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. Take HPV vaccine, it would protect you from dangerous strains that you may not have been exposed to, despite your history. Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
