Answer 1

If you are 26 or younger you can get the HPV vaccine even if you have been diagnosed with HPV in the past.

The vaccine is not a treatment for the HPV type or types we have. The HPV vaccine prevents two low risk HPV types 6 and 11 these generally manifest as visible warts of the vulva and two high risk HPV types that are linked to 70% of cervical cancers, They are at least 30 HPV types.

The makers of the vaccine state that most women 26 or younger are not infected with all 4 HPV types that there vaccine prevents.

The colposcopy is done after abnormal cells are found on the cervix. Abnormal cells can be a result of low risk or high risk HPV types.

Abnormal cells of the cervix would have nothing to do with an outbreak of warts on the vulva.

If your Pap test has been normal your body has built it natural defenses against the virus types that you have. Unfortunately there is a chance that at some point your virus may activate. This can be due to illness or just natural aging. You also can acquire different HPV types with a new sex partner.

Some researchers are hoping the vaccine can help build stronger antibodies to the HPV types we have clinical trails are underway to see if this is true.

We have been told that the vaccine is safe but a few women have developed problems

You and your doctor can weight the pros and cons of getting the vaccine…it may help and it might not. Check to see if your insurance covers the full amount for the vaccine. It is about $360 for the three shots this price does not include the charges your doctor may charge.

Good luck with the decision ultimately it is yours.

If I were younger I would go for it.

Answer 2

There are many different strains of HPV. Some can cause cervical cancer, others can cause warts. The vaccine protects against 2 types of the cervical cancer types that cause 70% of cancers, and 2 wart types that cause 90% of warts. If you had a colcoscopy you probably had one of the cervical cancer types?? You might not have had one of the two with the vaccine, same with warts. You have to start the 3 shot process before you turn 27.

Answer 3

I think it might. It sounds like you hpv is cured. I am pretty sure that as long as you are not with the person that gave you hpv anymore and you have no symptoms it is gone and the vaccine would help

I got diagnosed with herpes virus (type 2) about three yrs ago, whilst I was still in college and had a mindless one-night stand. I understand lots 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 it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with someone that has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/mkWd2 everything changed.

Not only was I able to eliminate all remnants of the hsv from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed 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 method gave me back the chance to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

Answer 5

The vaccine is a preventative measure only. It is not a cure. If you have it, the vaccine will not help. Sorry :(

Answer 6

You'll have to ask your doc about that. That vaccine is too new......and I haven't read any literature on it. Best of luck to you.
