Not much point getting it if you are sexually active ive been told, its why they give it to school girls to help prevent it as once you are sexually active and been exposed to it the injection does little to nothing |

 virtually everyone who is sexually active has been exposed apparently. |

I don't believe this is true. There are over 150 different strains of HPV, the vaccines covers some but not all. Likewise you'd have been pretty unlucky to have been exposed to all of them! |

The majority of HPV strains are harmless, Gardasil only protects against the two strains believed to be responsible for 70% of cervical cancer. So the vaccine does not offer 100% protection anyway.

Given that I'be been sexually active for over 30 years, and condoms do not offer full protection against HPV either, I personally feel that I am better served by regular PAP smears to detect cervical changesl. It's up to each individual to assess their own level of risk |

Ive been reading up on it because ive to go to colposcopy because it was detected on my last smear
After youve started having sex its pointless because statistically almost everyone who is sexually active will get it at some point, the injection only prevent the strains that cause cancer and you should be getting snears to monitor that anyway ... they also dont teeat for it because its viral ... just monitor to make sure it goes away on its own and didnt cause changes to the cells in your cervix |

So just out of interest do you tell sexual partners that you have it? |

didn't know you could pay for it privately. i would do that, i've learned a lot about warts since doing a lot of research about verrucas.
i know the HPV virus your immune system will get rid of it if it can. as it will with most wart viruses. |

I've never thought about telling anyone I had it to be honest? When you are found to have it they don't say anything like that. It showed up when I had a smear as precancerous cells. I'd had no warts or anything. I think I was pretty lucky to get away with them managing to clear it as it was a grade 3. I'd advise people to get the vaccine if it does help as a loop incision is no fun at all and no sex before for a week and noneven after for 4 weeks |

I havent had any sexual partners since i got my smear result, i always use protection with meets and its symptomless strain (ie i dont have either herpes or warts if that is what you are assuming) so no i probably wont unless the hospital advise me i should be doing otherwise
Do you tell your meets that you caught the cold last winter? |

"Smear tests for woman may detect it but I read that the danger for men is mouth and head cancers"
These risks are so remote that they havent even developed a test for men and as far as i am aware they dont vaccinate boys
The articles you are reading are scaremongering |

There are a fair few vaccines that we can get privately that we'd not be eligible for from the NHS as standard.
