HPV Vaccine

I went to the doctor today and he tried to talk me in to getting Guardasil. No thanks. I told him I am married. See, you get HPV from sex. If I'm gonna get it from Chris, I already did. If Chris dies, I may remarry, but I'm not gonna have sex with like 5 people. Then he pointed out that people cheat... Well... If I was concerned about that, HPV would be the least of my problems. I understand his concern and that he thinks it's good cuz it "almost eliminates the risk of cervical cancer." But I don't think it's been around long enough for me to get it "just in case". No one knows if it causes any problems several years later, so I think I will not get it.

I only plan to have sex with one person for the rest of my life, but I still got it. I mean, what do you have to lose?

It's a new vaccine and no one knows if there are long term issues. I might get it when I'm 25 or something. Plus it doesn't eliminate the need for yearly tests anyway.
