I've already had the first two. Is it possible, or likely, to get HPV before the third one?


Answer:
Yes. You won't have complete immunity to the types of HPV Gardasil protects against until you've had all 3 immunizations. (Remember Gardasil does not protect against all types of HPV, only 4 of them, 2 of which cause 70% of cervical cancer cases.)

It's also important to also follow the schedule they told you - at 0 months, 2 months, and 6 months. If it's too long in between the doses, you'll have to begin the series again.


Answer:
I would state yes it is possible as you haven't finished the immunization schedule.

I don't know how likely.

FYI - Immunizations reduce the chance of you getting HPV but they’re never 100%.

Safe sex is the best way to prevent getting an STD including HPV.

HPV like Herpes can still be transmitted when exchanging bodily fluids with your without protection.


Answer:
no..
