HPV - The hard questions

by bobby_, Apr 23, 2008 02:27AM
Hello,

I have had HPV for about 2.5 years (no more symptoms).  I am interested in a new girl and was wondering about the vaccination.  If I recommend she get vaccinated, how long after the first shot will some sort of immunal protection be developed.  Do we have to wait the entire 6 months before its safe to begin sexual activity ?

Also, she is 1 year past the 14 - 26 age bracket, will doctors still vaccinate outside this bracet (she is 27).  I don't know whats up with these magic numbers but if they wont vaccinate I will be very disappointed.

Please advise.
