About HPV Vaccination
I recently had a UTI for the first time. I am sexually active. The doctor suggested me to get a Gardasil 3 dose vaccination. I am not sure whether to get the vaccination or not. As is it really necessary? I mean I will get it in few years when I'll be out of college. So can you tell me what are the precautions I can take to not get affected till then? Or I should get it right now?

if your sexually active you should take the vaccination now . Use barrier contraception during intercourse to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
