You shouldn't be having sex at all because that vaccine isn't as effective when you're sexually active.
And for in the future, you should always use a condom because there are so many std's and other health risks that can be spread.

Ok first off let me make something clear about the above answer. Having actual sex does NOT make the vaccine less effective. In fact part of the reason for getting the vaccine is because when you ARE sexually active your risks for getting HPV increase DRAMATICALLY. Having sex will not make the vaccine null and void.
Depending on whether or not your reason for asking this is because of getting pregnant or getting HPV i will answer for both. If you are worried about the Birth Control not working then please still use the condom. There are always a small risk that certain medications make BC ineffective right after so still use it for at least 14 days. If you are worried about getting HPV without a condom then i say again USE A CONDOM after the shot. For one, the first shot in the series does not prevent it, you must have ALL three shots for it to be complete. Secondly if you arent married, and your partner has not been checked out in the last year just use a condom anyway. There are still so many diseases out there that this shot does not cover. And just because you are in a serious relationship does not mean he cant pass something to you. I was cheated on by my serious boyfriend of 2 years and he passed me a (thankfully curable) STD. Be safe, if your partner really does love you he will understand.

Married young soon to be a mother and have been diagnosed with cervical cancer is it safe to still have sex?

But if you do have cancer, it is still safe to have sex.
