A member asked:
Do most married women who have the hpv vaccine test positive at one time or another? reactivated strand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Before the vaccine was available as many as 70% of college age women tested positive for past HPV infection. The available vaccine provides protection for a number of sexually transmitted strains (9) but not all. They will not protect against/stop from re-emerging, strains acquired before the vaccine. I am not aware of todays numbers of those who acquire strains not in the vaccine.
