Then new HPV vaccine for women?

Question

Ok, I was wondering if anyone had a helpful website about it. I am 23 and I know that age wise, I qualify to get the vaccine. But I was also wondering if the fact that I am with someone, who I am going ot marry, if it would be useful since hima nd I have both been tested and neither of us have HPV.

►Should I still get the vaccine?

►Or would it be a waste of my time, seeing as though I know I can't get it, sonce I'm not out dating various men?

►And if I was to get the vaccine, would my man and I have to postpone our plans on trying to get pregnant next year, since it is a 6 month series of shots?

If anyone can shed some light on this situation for me, they would be greatly appriciated, thanks!

Web sites with information would be helpful. Thank You.

Answer 1

Oh geeze! This is exactly why I am trying to spread the word on this website!

First of all, I am a Cytotechnologist with over 10 years experience screening Pap tests for signs of HPV, precancerous and cancerous cells. I am a professional. I see HPV every day.

There are over 100 different HPV viral types (strains or varieties). The vaccine only protects you from 4, and there are no long-term studies on how long it protects, how well it protects and what the long-term side effects are.

The HPV test has an error rate of 10%. That means, 10% of the tests are wrong. It also only detects 40 of the 100 viral types, so it is VERY POSSIBLE to have a negative HPV test and STILL HAVE HPV.

So, you can have a positive HPV test and a negative Pap and get cervical cancer.

You can have a Positive Pap and a negative HPV test and get cervical cancer.

And you can have a Negative Pap and a Negative HPV test and get cervical cancer.

Now, should you get the vaccine?
Maybe. It may or may not protect you. If you've ever had sex with someone who has had sex with someone else, there's a good chance (90%) that the vaccine will be a waste of money because you will already have the virus.

If you and your partner have NEVER HAD SEX WITH ANYONE ELSE BEFORE, then get the vaccine. If nothing else, you will be partially protected, and less likely to contract it.

Should you be scared?
No.

90% of all women have HPV by the time they are 23 years old. 80% of those women resolve the virus on their own. Only 20% ever get precancerous or cancerous lesions.

So, what IS the best way to prevent and detect cervical cancer?

PRACTICE SAFE SEX

GET YOUR PAP TEST EVERY YEAR (it's the only test that looks at the cells for signs of cancer.)

SEE YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU EVER HAVE UNUSUAL VAGINAL BLEEDING OR PAIN

AND IF YOU EVER HAVE DYSPLASIA OR PRECANCEROUS CELLS ON A PAP, FOLLOW YOUR DOCTORS INSTRUCTIONS. A biopsy will remove just the tissue that is infected so it won't turn into cancer.

NO WOMAN EVER HAS TO DIE FROM CERVICAL CANCER. Just get your Pap test EVERY year, and an HPV test EVERY year for 5 years after you change partners.

Last but not least, TELL YOUR SISTERS, COUSINS, MOTHER, FRIENDS AND ANYONE ELSE THAT THE VACCINE WILL NOT PREVENT THEM FROM GETTING CANCER!!! It's a lie.

Answer 2

It is important for girls to get HPV vaccine before they become sexually active. The vaccine is most effective for girls/women. It is not yet known how much protection girls/women would get from receiving only one or two doses of the vaccine. For this reason, it is very important that girls/women get all three doses of the vaccine.

The vaccine has been extensively tested in 9-26 year-old females so information is only available about vaccine safety and protection for girls/women of this age group. However, studies on the vaccine are now being done in boys/men, as well as in women older than 26 years of age. The FDA will consider licensing the vaccine for these other groups when there is research to show that it is safe and effective in these groups.

Answer 3

If you don't have HPV and you have a monogamous relationship with a man who does not have it either, there is no point in getting the vaccine. You don't need it.

The vaccine is for women who will likely get it or already have it. You are neither of those.

Answer 4

specific, that's known to basically be efficient in scuffling with an infection, no longer treating an infection. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, the vaccine grants risk-free practices against 4 lines of HPV; in case you fall in the recommended age variety and have evidence of an HPV an infection it nonetheless would not be a bad thought to get vaccinated. in case you have been uncovered to all 4 - no harm, no foul. in case you haven't any longer, you p.c.. up risk-free practices against the lines you haven't any longer be uncovered to.

Answer 5

I would definately get it. Lets safe for posting purposes only that you and your future husband divorce after marriage or he dies in a massive care accident...............you eventually start to date and wind up dating and getting HPV. Later yours turns to cancer. If you had gotten the vaccine now you would be protected. Yes these are worst case scenerios buttttt all to possible. Get the vaccine if for nothing more than peace of mind.
