Here's what you girls need to know on the Gardasil anti-cervical cancer vaccine, before you decide whether you want to go for it or not.
1. vaccine is only against 2 strains of HPV virus.
2. these 2 strains causes of 70% of cervical cancer cases.
3. HPV can only be sexually transmitted (imo, oral sex included, as virus shed in genital secretions -- think; you blow him, then kiss him, then he blow you, considered it done! small chance doesn't mean no chance).
4. vaccine to be given best before the age of 26
so if you're sure you and your other half are the only sex partner you'll ever have (if there's are marriage plans etc), then i don't see a need to get the vaccine. Meaning if your partner only have sex with you, and so did you, he can't possibly get HPV from previous experience nor can he transmit it to you, so you won't get HPV-related cancers.
Don't get it..
-if you have complete faith in your other half (i.e you think he won't mess around after you got married)
-he got no prior sex experience
Get it if..
-he has a whole chunk of r/s history
-he's a horny bastard
-if you think he may fool around after marriage
even after you get the vaccine, there are still chances of getting cervical cancer (see point 2)
Why i'm going through all these, is because 3 doses of that costs at least $600!
I'll probably get my partner to go for HPV testing, its probably cheaper. HA. niao.
Should I? Should I not?
