A member asked:

Are genital warts common after you get all 3 vaccines ?

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Depends: If you were sexually active before you received the vaccine, you could have HPV despite the vaccine. The Gardasil covers 4 strains of HPV which is the cause of most, but not all genital warts. If you received the vaccine prior to sexual activity, the vaccine is highly effective for the 4 strains covered.

Depends: Genital warts can be caused by a strain other than the one you were vaccinated for. While not common it does happen. The vaccine protects against a few of the strains but not all. Also other STDs may cause warts, lesions, or ulcers.
