A member asked:

I abstained for 2 years prior to my 1st gardasil shot & just received the 3rd. how long should i wait to have sex now that i've completed the series?

Anytime: The immunity after third dose of a series is already there and boosted further. But one should be aware all vaccines are not 100% reliable. The only way to be sure is to have ur self checked for HPV. Some tests are available but not yet in the U.S. But you have done your bit to minimize the risk as much as you can.
