If i have hpv can can i still take the vaccine will it help?

Yes: There are many subtypes of hpv. The hpv vaccine guards against the four most common types associated with disease such as warts & cervical lesions that can progress to cancer. It would be unusual for a woman to be carrying all four of these types (types 6, 11, 16 & 18). If carrying 1 of these, the vaccine would protect against the other 3.
