A member asked:
Can i be a carrier of hpv and transmit it to others if im already vaccinated? assuming its the type covered by vaccine? how does the virus actually respond to the vaccine? what does the vaccine do really?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The vaccine is 100% effective against 9 HPV types, but if you were infected with any of those types before you were vaccinated, you could still carry them and transmit to partners. The vaccine may have some effect in reducing the chance of reactivation and transmission of previously acquired HPV strains, but not a strong effect.
