Can I still have sexual intercourse during the six month period that I have my hpv vaccine over?
If you don’t really get that, which I don’t to be honest, I’m trying to say that you know how the hpv vaccine for cervical cancer is finished over a time period of six months, can you still have sexual intercourse during that time?

If you’re already having sex the HPV vaccine probably isn’t going to help you out at all. I don’t fully understand your question either. If you’re instructed to not have sex for 6 months after the vaccine, don’t. The whole reason you’re getting the vaccine is to keep you protect from 4 kinds of virus which have been linked to cervical cancer. Its a moot point to get the vaccine and have sex before its effective. But that’s not to say that you’d get the virus from every person.

To completely protect yourself from all 4 types of HPV that Gardasil vaccinates you against, I wouldn’t recommend having sex until the 6 month period is complete and you’ve gotten all 3 doses. Even if you use condoms, HPV can still spread through skin-to-skin contact. Even though it is a pain, if you truly want to avoid these types of HPV, I would wait the full 6 months.
