 [ Symptoms ] if i was just diagnosed with high risk hpv with mild a typical cells would it be pointless to get the gardisal shot  i have just been diagnosed with high risk hpv the doctor said that i have very mild a typical cells and they do not look to be pre cancerous my question is would it be pointless to get the gardisal shot to prevent against some of the high risk strands of hpv that cause cervical cancer or is it too late now [ Disease ] the gardasil vaccine is meant to be preventative care it will not do any good once you have already acquired the virus it would be like getting a flu shot to try and get rid of the flu it just does not work that way sorry
