A member asked:

Im a 41 year old male that has hsv2. is it a good idea to get the hpv vaccine ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You may. HPV vaccine is recommended up to age 45. HSV 2 is not relevant to your decision to take HPV vaccine. Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
