No. This is not possible. The Gardasil vaccine contains recombinant proteins from HPV to provoke an immune response. There are no live viruses, attenuated viruses or even dead viruses in the vaccine. The viral DNA is not present in any form.

What is the difference between HPV and genital herpes and can both cause cancer?

HPV (human papillomavirus) causes all kinds of warts -- on your hands, feet, knees, and genitals.

The types of HPV that cause warts are not the types that cause cancer. Genital Herpes is caused by a herpetic virus, is not related to warts, and is not linked to cancer like HPV is. However, having genital herpes AND HPV increases your risk of cancer from the HPV virus.
