Your teens, preferably your tweens, and maybe even you, need the HPV vaccine. It prevents almost all cases of cervical cancer.

So What About Kids Getting the HPV Vaccine?, the HPV vaccine is recommended for kids aged 11 or 12, but can be administered to children as young as nine. They should get the HPV vaccinethey start sexual activity. Karen, stop clutching your pearls. The Mayo Clinic’s careful to say that research hasAnd once you get infected by HPV, the vaccine doesn’t work — it doesn’t prevent cancer from HPV strains you’reAnd yes, I said your son should get vaccinated, too.

But that means 51% of American kids still haven’t gotten the recommended doses of their HPV vaccine. According tovaccinated have gotten their full round of vaccines by the time they’re 13, around when kids sometimes start to experiment. Moreover, 11 and 12-year-olds have a better immune response to the vaccine than older teens.So there is no shame in having HPV.

Let’s all say that together: there is no shame in having HPV. 80% of us have it. Some of us have the kind that makes genital warts, and that sucks. But most of us have a silent infection. We’re no better than the other people, we just got fucking lucky that you can’t see it. But that doesn’t make our type of HPV any less dangerous.And if you’re over 26 years-old? Yeah, you should still get the HPV vaccine if you weren’t vaccinated when you were a kid, the CDC says. Maybe.

But here’s the thing: any time you have a new partner, you’re at risk of being exposed to a new HPV strain. So if you’re in a long term, monogamous relationship, the HPV vaccine probably isn’t the right thing for you. It’s not going to prevent cervical cancer. If you’re got the strain, you’ve got the strain, and if you haven’t gotten it yet, you’re not going to get it. But if you’re embarking on some sexual adventures … well, you probably want to get vaccinated. Your body will thank you.
