Gardasil vs Cervarix: There are more than 40 types of human papilloma virus. Cervarix protects against 16 & 18 which causes most cervical cancers. Gardasil protects against 16 & 18 as well as 6 & 11 which cause many genital warts. But that still leaves you unprotected against more than 36 other types. I believe honesty is always the best policy. So are condoms, which can decrease std transmission rate.
