Gardasil and Cervarix are designed to elicit virus-neutralizing antibody responses that prevent initial infection with the HPV types represented in the vaccine. The vaccines have been shown to offer 100 percent protection against the development of cervical pre-cancers and genital warts caused by the HPV types in the vaccine, with few or no side effects. The protective effects of the vaccine are expected to last a minimum of 4.5 years after the initial vaccination.
Hi, i do understand that the vaccine is for the prevention of cervical cancer. However, the drug is relatively new, and i was wondering if my gf, who is still a virgin, should contemplate going for it. After all, almost 2 women is diagnosed with cervical cancer everyday in Singapore. I do understand the benefits, but it is the potential side-effects that worries me. I mean, in the long run, nobody knows if it affects fertility etc and that is her primary concern. The nature of life is always a balance. Could any ladies please share their opinions on this drug, and advise me whether i should encourage her to go ahead. SHe is currently unsure, and i thought it would be helpful to gather more insights and opinions before deciding.
