I'm thinking about getting that new shot that helps prevent HPV in women. Does anyone know the side effects and if it's worth it to get the shot?

The vaccine is highly recommended. It provides reasonable protection against 4 HPVs which have been linked to cervical cancer. Young people today are far more sexually active than when I was young and in part because of this the incidence of HPV is rapidly increasingly. As with herpes simplex people do not know that they have HPV so it continues to be spread to others. The only potential side effect of the vaccine is a sore arm.

I got diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about four years back, whilst I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. I realize a lot of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores around her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/auLFf everything got better.
Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes virus from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This program provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others by sharing this story.

I've already answered a question like this before.
I have received two doses of the shot so far. I researched it extensively and found no problems. Several women's health doctors recommended it to me, and any doctor/nurse I've spoken with has supported it (my dad's a doctor; he wouldn't let me do something he didn't trust).
I haven't experienced any side-effects. I'm 19 years old. Feel free to ask me any questions.

i haven't gotten it yet but i really want to and am planning to get it asap. it is really expensive but some insurances have started to cover it and planned parenthood may have it for free or cheap. i think you should absolutely get it, i haven't heard of any side effects but i don't care! it prevents cervical cancer, that is a major medical breakthrough and everyone should be getting this asap.

I guess it's a good idea. I mean it protects against cancer, but only if you get it from sex. So in a way, I think it gives people a flase sense of security. Personally, I wouldn't get it cause I'm not sleepin' with no one till I get married.

I think I'll wait a couple years to see the affects first.
