Believe it or not, my FH and I have not been intimate with anyone else before we met (we met young) so I never considered myself at risk for contracting HPV. Is anyone else in the same situation and was reccommended to get the vaccine anyways? This vaccine is new to me.

HPV is not the only thing that leadss to Cervical Cancer, I'm negitive for HPV, yet I'm being treated for the later

HPV is not the only thing that leads to Cervical Cancer, and the HPV vaccination only protects you from a few of the many strains of HPV. It couldn't hurt, and in fact will probably help a lot of girls who aren't yet sexually active.

If they'll give you the shot, and you don't have to pay for it, I say take it. We're all goo-goo eyed in love right now, but who knows what the future will bring, or what will happen when you're 50, 60 years old?
