HPV or human papillomavirus is a fairly common virus that affects both males and females. Some of the subtypes have been determined to cause cervical cancer or abnormal cells in the cervix that later can develop into cancer. We offer Gardasil, a vaccine that helps protect women against the risk of developing some diseases caused by HPV. These diseases would include genital warts, abnormal or precancerous vulvar lesions, vaginal lesions and cervical lesions, and, most importantly, cervical cancer. Gardasil can be administered to females from age 9 through 26 years of age, and is given in 3 doses. For more information, please speak with a member of our team.
