What is the hpv shot for?
It's to create immunity for your antibody to fight off future HPV infections, type 6, 11, 16, and 18. These HPV types are responsible for 90% of genital warts and cervical cancer cases. You must finish the HPV shots before getting infected. If you were infected before you take the vaccine, it won't be effective as your antibody has tried to fight off the infection naturally (so you will have to wait until it succeeded). It's, however, still effective to fight the remaining of HPV strains that you haven't been exposed to. That's why everyone recommend the vaccine to be taken by younger people, because usually they haven't had any sexual exposure yet.
