Do you need the HPV vaccine if you're in a monogomous relationship?

Question

I think I've got the acronym right. The one they keep talking about on TV. Is it necessary for women who don't have multiple partners (and whose partner doesn't have multiple partners, lol)?

I'm a little disappointed in the lack of faith you people have in your spouses (or in mine, lol)! From what I've gathered from you guys, HPV is sexually transmitted. In that case, I'm in no way a candidate for contracting it (not that it's anyone's business). I'll let this one go to a vote. Thanks for repsonding so quickly. :)

Answer 1

I am in a monogomous relationship and I still get THE HPV test and vaccine. I am a cancer patient and I wasn't sure if I should but I still do.

I still think it is neccessary. In my opinion.

Answer 2

I personally have the HPV virus and I can tell you I wish this vacine had been out when I was like 12 so I could have gotten it myself. The fact is that HPV is something you can 1 be born with from your mother ... 2 something you can contract with anyone no matter weather they are faithful or not.
Unless you both have never had sex with anyone else and no you dont have anything as of right now ..... then yes you should get the vacine.
The fact is if either of you have had sex you may already have it. HPV is not always warts it is also a cancer causing strain which carries no symptoms until the day they tell you that your pap is abnormal ... like mine ....
So if you can get it GET IT ...
It is always better to be safe than sorry no matter what !!!

Good luck and hope this helps

Answer 3

YES!! you should get any vaccine that might help you avoid getting cervical cancer... even though you are in a monogomous relationship right now, doesn't mean that you or your partner will never have other partners in the future, the worst part about HPV is that men don't get symptoms so if they have it they don't know, it is very easy to spread, millions of people in the US have it, i say protect yourself, it is worth getting a shot! hope this helps!

Answer 4

HPV is ridiculously common. If you were a virgin, and your partner was a virgin, and you both are completely monogamous, you might be fine. However, people lie, or make mistakes, or decide to move on to other partners, or don't realize that what they did with their last boy/girlfriend was enough to expose them, or whatever.

I don't know. Getting the shot is up to you. Not getting it is not necessarily a death sentence, but it's a vaccine against cancer, and you never know what may happen. Personally, I'd get it for the same reason that I'd make my partner wear condoms even if I'm on the pill and we're monogamous and tested- you just don't know.

Answer 5

yes i would. my sister was married and contracted genital warts because her no good ex-husband ran around with whores. people lie, people deceive. so while right now you may think that your boyfriend or husband is the cats meow, well things can and usually do change. get the vaccine. you need to think of your long term health first. too bad they didnt offer the vaccine years ago so my sister could have avoided alot of headache and imbarrassment!!!!!

Answer 6

it's not NECESSARY, but i would definitely recommend it, especially if there's a chance you won't be with the same hpv-free person forever. one of your old partners may have had it or one of your partners old partners may have had it plus there is nothing wrong with being safe!

Answer 7

Yes, I would get it anyway. It only takes one partner/one sexual experience to contract an STD (e.g. HPV)

Answer 8

I would highly recommend it. While you maybe in a monogamous relationship things can change. So, you might as well be on the safe side and go ahead and get the vaccination!
