Thank God! I learned today that 50% of sexually active college students test positive for HPV. And 80% of women in their fifties were exposed to it at some point in their lives.
I'm glad I got this vaccination before I was exposed.
Unfortunatly not. In Portugal the vaccine is really expensive and it's free just for the girls who had born in 1992. I had born in 1991 so I couldn't take it for free.
Nope, my family said that the risks outweigh the benefits of the vaccine. I've never been vaccinated against anything in my life, not even when I was a baby and I'm healthy now.
I've had all three and definitely believe it was the right thing to do. I received the Gardasil vaccine and understand that now there is a Gardasil 9 that protects against five more strains of the virus than the original Gardasil, so hopefully those of us that got the original can get a booster with the new vaccine. We get our vaccinations against meningitis, polio, hepatitis and other deadly diseases, why not cervical cancer.
I'm glad I got this vaccination before I was exposed.
HPV = Human Papiloma Virus
It causes a certain type of cervical cancer in women.
It is an STD.
There is a vaccine that every young woman should get before she becomes sexually active.
