I was diagnosed with HPV genital warts. After I got the vaccine to protect myself from the other strands. Years later I am clear from the warts for almost a year and I have a girlfriend who was vaccinated already and is clean and doesnt have hpv. Is oral safe now since I was vaccinated for other strands that cause oral issues? Am I protected or not? We have had sex but not done oral, what do you think?
Hello, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is group viruses which include more than 150 HPV strains. A person can get the infection through skin contact (most common), or sexual contact (vaginal, oral, or anal sex). Not all HPV types cause the disease. HPV types 16 and 18 cause 70% of cancers. There are three types of vaccines: Ardabil, Gardasil 9 and Ferraris. All vaccines include HPV types 16 and 18 to protect from cancer and Ardabil and Gardasil 9 also provide protection from HPV 6 and 11 which cause about 90% of genital warts. Therefore, to vaccinate (Ardabil or Gardasil 9) can only guarantee 90% protection from genital warts. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
