O.K., I'm a guy, but I have a tendency to NOT do most of the medicines/vaccines. Everything that enters your body has some adverse effects, somewhere, somehow. One of the leading causes of being overweight are related to medicines!
At the present time, it is not known if Gardisil is safe or not; it is too new. The HPV has been around for a long time; they have known its causes and how to avoid it for a long time. It seems to me that the safest means to avoid the possibility of cervical cancer is to avoid having sex with any one except a husband. Seriously, the more sexual partners people have, the higher the risk for several kinds of cancer, as well as STD's.
So, I would recommend avoiding Gardisil, if at all possible. It is like most of the vaccinations recommended for children attending school; in all probability, completely unnecessary.

I just completed my 3 Gardisil shots and the only side effects I experienced were tenderness in my arm, and after the 3rd shot the injection site bled for a bit, and was sore for a few days. I think, like with any medication or vaccine, there are always people who will have more serious reactions to it.

It is safer taking it then getting HPV, look at this way. Some people believe that the vaccines we give children causes Autism but it isn't proven. Even if it is proven whats worse autism or having deadly diseases on your hands? I have HPV and I wish that I didn't cause it is stage two, at stage three I am opting to have everything taken out so I don't get cervical cancer. I am only 21, so this has made me think what is best for me and the child I'm carrying. I wish that I could of gotten the vaccine, if I could of then I wouldn't be starting a family so soon.

HPV is very common and easy to transmit, even when condoms are used properly. When you have your yearly pap, the doctors will check. I recommend having that done now, and also ask for the immunization set that is now available to prevent most strains of HPV. If you already have HPV, the immunization won't help, but it's good to have this done immediately in case you haven't been exposed yet. HPV is bad in that it can cause cancer in women, but it's rare to effect the men in your life (only their future partners). Make sure you have a yearly check up with your doctor, even if you haven't been exposed. Good luck!
