A member asked:

I have hpv and have a lasting sexual relationship for already 4 months. my boyfriend is 25, should he get the vaccine against hpv or not?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: He is in the approved age range for Gardasil vaccine, and he is exposed to HPV viruses. Therefore, he should get the vaccine to help protect against the 4 strains of virus covered by the vaccine.
