That ship sailed: The target age for vaccine use is 9-26, with heavy emphasis on administration before sexual activity starts.It provides no treatment for or protection against strains of the germ you already have.Of the dozen or so cancer related strains, 7 are in the latest vaccine. If you are considering paying out of pocket it is pricy. At more than $200/dose physician cost X 3 doses.

Yes: Especially if you also engage in anal sex. HPV can cause anal cancer, so vaccination is a good idea.
