The data you provided excludes thalassemia. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines

Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a test typically used to assess for hemoglobinopathies, including thalassemias. So far there is no anemia/changes to suggest thalassemia in your blood work.
