Should i not have sex?

[greeneyes_07]

I recently just got a vaccination to prevent cervical cancer and it was only alowed to be given to girls who were not sexually active. This was all good as im still a virgin. The thing is i still have to get 3 more vaccinations every 3 months for a year and i was wondering will this stop me from having sex or getting fingered?

I'm not sure if the rules/regulations for the shot (Gardisal) are the same in every state/country.  But where I am they suggest that girls get it before they are sexually active because if you are sexually active, you may have already been exposed to HPV.  I got the vaccine after I was sexually active because if you haven't been exposed to HPV it will still protect you against it and it's also been reported that Gardisal may protect you against other things (I was told by my Dr. that it has been reported to possibly guard against lung cancer, which runs in my family).  I would talk to your doctor before you decide.  I know this may be a sensitive and personal subject, but your doctor is used to these questions and it is not a big deal to him/her.  He/She will be able to give you better advice.

Well as far as i know you get the vaccine in school aged 12 and 13 so how old are you?

If you are at the legal age to have sex then i should see no reason why you cant have sex.


Wish i could get the jab like! im 20 and sexually active but it would be brill if they came up with one that i could have. but then i wanted the uk to lower the smear test age to 20 and theyve decided they wont.

Are you talking about Gardisal? I got that shot (last one was in Jan 2009). My doctor knew I was sexually active, but still gave it to me anyways.
