Question about the Gardasil Vaccine?

Question

I'm a virgin, but I do masturbate on occasion.
Am I still eligible to get this vaccine?

Answer 1

Sexual experience, as far as I know, isn't a factor in determining whether Gardasil is appropriate for you. They mainly recommend Gardasil for females ages 9-26. The only people who wouldn't be a candidate for Gardasil are ones who are allergic to a component of the vaccine, or have an allergic reaction after one of the first vaccines (administered in 3 shots over a few months). If you are allergic to amorphous aluminum hydrroxyphosplate sulfate, sodium chloride, L-histidine, polysorbate 80, and sodium borate you probably shouldn't take it.

Gardasil only is supposed to help prevent certain types of HPV which lead to cancer. It doesn't' limit chance for pregnancy.
The best way to find out if you're eligible is to contact your OB/GYN and ask a health professional if Gardasil is right for you.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

If you are female, between the ages of 9 and 26, and not pregnant then you are eligible to take the vaccine. Before you do, though, understand that Gardasil works when given before you have any contact with HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18.If you've already been infected with HPV, you may still benefit from Gardasil because it is unlikely that you have been infected with all 4 types of the virus covered by the vaccine. Your doctor or healthcare professional can help you understand more. HPV Types 16 and 18 cause 70% of cervical cancer cases, and HPV Types 6 and 11 cause 90% of genital warts cases. Gardasil may not fully protect everyone and does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it is important to continue regular cervical cancer screenings. Gardasil is given as 3 injections over 6 months and can cause pain, swelling, itching, and redness at the injection site, fever, nausea, and dizziness.

Answer 3

Yes, the shot can be done on both virgins and girls who aren't virgins. Masturbating has absolutely nothing to do with getting the shot. However, I wouldn't recommend you or anyone else get the shot because it has only been tested for 3-4 years. All of the long term effects are unknown. Every girl who has had this shot could end up sterile and unable to have her own children. That's just my thought, but anything is possible since nobody knows the long-term effects of gardasil. Another thought someone told me was that this shot is widely promoted by the government and it could be a trick ot control the over-population that is becoming a problem. Make sure you do your research and know what you're putting into your body. Best of luck!

Answer 4

It sounds like you probably did your homework. good pastime. maximum adults would not even attempt this. i for my area would not attempt any new drug except it turned right into a count number of existence or lack of life. they have not been used lengthy adequate to understand what the obtainable area impacts will be years down the line. i'm 28 with a baby myself, so your getting an a moms attitude. Everyoneloveserin, cancer isn't contagious, the vaccine protects adversarial to an outbreak that docs have self assurance can strengthen the possibility of having cancer. Izabella, merely because someone is a healthcare professional does no longer mean they understand each and every thing about ailments and drugs. many stuff are trial and mistake contained in the medical occupation, or maybe the really good docs can not understand each and every thing, no human being does.

Answer 5

The best person to ask would be your doctor, but according to everything I've read on the subject: Yes.

HPV, the virus that Gardasil protects against, is transmitted through skin to skin contact of infected genitalia. This is the reason that condoms don't really protect against it. Infected genitalia could have absolutely no symptoms of infections and women usually carry the virus for 10 - 15 years before it turns the cervical cells cancerous.

The best course of action for any young woman thinking of becoming sexually active, is: make an appointment to see a gynecologist - if you haven't done so already - and talk to him/her about your concern. Get a routine Pap test, which can detect the presence of the virus. When that comes back negative, request the vaccine.

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

The best time to get Gardasil is while you're a virgin, before you've had any chance at HPV exposure.

Masturbating doesn't expose you to HPV, so doesn't affect the vaccine's effectiveness.

Answer 7

Anyone is eligible as long as they don't have HPV.
(masturbating has nothing to do with it.)
Routine Pap tests won't determine if you have HPV. They can do the test at your normal gyno visit, but it's a separate test.

Answer 8

Anyone can get it starting at the age of 9 years old. I highly doubt a 9 year old has sex.

Answer 9

Yes you are eligible for the vaccine, the rest of your comments are irrelevant but thanks for sharing.

Answer 10

Yes assuming that eventually you will become sexually active you would still want to get it.
