OK, so I know its controversial, and I'm not trying to open up that can of worms, but I just got the vaccine for HPV. Now, my BF is afraid to have sex with me (we don't use condoms, we've been tested & we're STD free, & we've been dating for over 5 yrs-totally monogamous). Does anyone know if it is possible to spread HPV after having been given the 1st injection. Also, he also said I might not be able to donate blood now b/c of it. Does anyone know if this is true?

The only way he'd be able to get it is if you had contracted HPV pre-vaccination, which would most of the time show up as an abnormal pap, and it would require a venereal wart/lesion to spread from you to him.
Yes, you can continue to give blood. Why wouldn't you? You can donate blood with the MMR, Polio, Chixpox, etc vaccines.
Anon, I'm guessing you're a male, considering that it's called a pap smear...

There's no cervical cancer vaccine. A vaccine referred to as Gardisil immunizes you to the 4 four foremost traces of the Human Papillomavirus, which motives cervical cancer. Nevertheless, so long as you do not need HPV, then your lady friend cannot get cervical melanoma at the same time with you. Its real they say that having sex at a young age raises the chance, however that is handiest headquartered on the fact that most teens would not have their partners get demonstrated for STD's and may not continually use appropriate safety. The equal goes with women who have had multiple intercourse partners. As long as you utilize safeguard adequately, and make sure all your partners should not contaminated with HPV, you will have a very small risk of ever getting cervical melanoma.

The vaccine doesnt stop you from spreading HPV, there is no way to know if you have it or not. I do not know if you can still give blood, i am assuming yes.
