No: Hpv vaccine such as Gardasil protects vacccine recipients from getting 4 specific strains of hpv, however, it does not eliminate the virus if the recipients already have had.

No: The goal of a vaccine is to train your immunity to be aware of an organism - viral or germ - and produce a killing response so when the real infection enters your body it will be dealt with quickly. If you already carry the HPV infection - the vaccine will not eliminate it
