Gardasil is a vaccine against the HPV or Human Papillomavirus. The Gardasil vaccine protects recipients against 4 types of HPV, including the two types that cause most cervical cancers and the two types that cause the most genital warts.

It MAY prevent four types of cervical cancer it says it prevents, it is not certain (it says so in the commercial).
It doesn't prevent against STD's.

IT doesn't guard against all STDs it helps to guard against HPV ( 4 forms of it) HPV is a STD so yes it guards against that but not other STDs.
