the doctor never said but my mom's friend told her that you can't have sex if you've had the vaccine.

The vaccine isn't complete until you've had three shots. And then, of course, you need to wait for it to have taken effect. I don't know how long that is. And it works best if you remain a virgin until you've at least finished all three shots. That's because it guards against those types of HPV that can be responsible for some types of cervical cancer. HPV is so widespread that you can be infected any time that you have sex.

Why are you in such a rush? How much do you know about how a woman's body works? How a man's body works? The specifics about how your body works? Are you emotionally and financially capable of being a parent? Is your partner emotionally and financially capable of being a parent? What do you plan to be using as birth control? What do you know about safer sex? What kind of plans have you made for any of the above?

When you can honestly and in detail answer every one of those questions, you might be ready to consider partner sex.

Yes you can have sex if you have had the vaccine, BUT, if you already had the warts that are caused by the HPV, then there is risk of them returning and you sharing them with any perspective partners during sex.
Some people have the HPV and it cuases no harm to them, other people have the HPV and they get the symptoms like warts in the genital area as stated. They are the ones who shouldn't be sharing it around if they are not properly treated.

Yes, that's one of the reasons for the vaccine! Because it is supposed to keep you from getting cervical cancer due to having sex.

I probably should have had it, I had sex at 15, the worse thing that happened to me was that I got pregnant.

I have faithfully gotten pap test every year since then, was going to quit having them but my youngest daughter, 30, convinced me I should keep having them because my Mother had some form of female cancer, which she denied ever having, she's been dead almost 3 years! I am 51 years old.

Good Luck

Sure you can, the vaccine is to protect you from HPV an STD, and that does not stop you from having sex. You still need to be careful about pregnancy and all of the other STD's
