Does the hpv vaccine (gardasil) help prevent herpes?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Misinformed: Hpv has no connection in any way to herpes. And, the gardisil (hpv) vaccine does not in any way prevent herpes.

A different "H": The human papiloma virus that causes hpv and many other issues is very different from the herpes simplex virus that causes herpes. As such, the vaccine for hpv does not prevent herpes.
