Men need to take the HPV vaccine just as females do.
The vaccine is administered in three doses over a six-month period. Patients with HPV-positive throat cancer have a disease-free survival rate of 85-90.
Yes, you do. The HPV vaccine is excellent and covers many strains of the HPV virus, and the strains included in the shot are the ones most likely to cause cervical cancer. It is very, very effective. But you need PAP smears still because: 1. Not all strains of HPV are in the vaccine, so even though it would be rare you could still get a form of HPV and go on to develop cervical cancer. 2. Not all cervical cancers are caused by HPV (though many are).
The HPV vaccine is a genetically modified vaccine and therefore is not considered to be live.
The external viral proteins of the HPV vaccine.
No. It is a preventative.

No, the HPV vaccine shouldn't delay your period - in some rare cases it's been said that HPV has effected womens fertility, but there is no confirmation of this. It's most likely that if you're getting the HPV vaccine you're in your teens so irregular cycles are normal at your age, it's likely got absolutely nothing at all to do with your getting the HPV vaccine.
Yes. The HPV has no effect, positive or negative, on fertility. Because the vaccine has not been tested on pregnant women, it is recommended that they not receive the vaccine. Animal studies have shown no risk to fetuses, but it is best to be careful.
