If i had very few sexual partners and have always tested negative for hpv, is it a good idea to get the vaccination at age 43? i am a lesbian and the woman i am considering having a relationship with has high risk hpv. also how long would i have to wait t

Probably no vaccine: Partner no. makes less difference in HPV risk than you might think. Higher with say 100 vs 5 life partners, but >80% chance even with 5. Past neg tests don't mean much; most HPV isn't detected by cervix testing. Even w/ infected partner, at age 43 vaccination is questionable value; good possibility you've already had same type. Substantial protection at 2 mo (1 mo after dose #2), 6-7 mo for 100%.
