Answer 1

The new vaccine, called Gardasil, is for ALL young women - whether they have had sex or not.

The only benefit about being a virgin is chances of that person already being exposed to HPV are slim to none compared to a person who has already had sex.

If a girl has already had sex chances of her already being exposed to HPV are greater, especially if she has had several sex partners.

Many doctors (including mine) even suggest women WITH HPV to get the vaccine. It won't cure their HPV, but it can possibly prevent them from contracting a kind of HPV they don't already have. The vaccine protects against 4 different kinds of HPV (two known to cause about 70% of cervical cancer and two known to cause about 90% of genital warts). Say, for example, a young girl only has one kind of HPV that the vaccine prevents. Theoretically if she gets the vaccine, she'll be protected from contracting the other 3 kinds of HPV that the vaccine protects against.

ANY young woman can get the vaccine, whether they are a vigin or not, or have HPV or not! Good luck!

Answer 2

well that is assuming you havent already picked up one of the HPV strains already...they dont always come out right away..it can take years for symptoms to arise....but the vaccine only prevents either 3 or 4 strains of HPV...the ones that have been linked with cervical cancer...not the many many other types....HPV is the virus that causes genital warts although not all types cause warts, it causes women to get abnormal pap smear results when the virus is active referred to as cervical displasia.

Answer 3

I think it is to help prevent cervical cancer, which can be caused by HPV
