Answer 1

The vaccine is more effective on girls who are not sexually active, this is why they give it to girls who are 11, 12 ish.

But its still effective even if you are sexually active. You had two of the vaccines, you used a condom, one sexual partner- Im sure you will be fine!

The vaccine prevents you from catching a papiloma virus. The odds of you having caught it from protected s*x, are tiny!

Please dont worry about it! It sounds like you were very sensible.  

Answer 2

Well im not sure but i've heard you can only have it if you haven't had s*x. (ie. you can only have it if your a virgin)

I dunno if it wil have huge effects.. it just might not be AS effective.

Answer 3

Answer 4

The reason why it's more beneficial to get the HPV vaccine before sexual activity is that the strains of HPV related to cervical cancer and genital warts are spread by s*x.  If you've already been exposed to a particular strain, the shot won't be effective against it.  Therefore, it's ideal to get the entire series before you start having s*x--that's why the shot is approved for girls as young as nine.  However, you certainly have some protection from the first two shots, and I would go ahead and get the third.  Virginity is not a requirement for the HPV vaccine--remember it's approved for women up to age 26, and most 26-year-olds are not virgins.

Condoms reduce HPV transmission by 70%.  The reason why you can still get HPV even when using condoms is that HPV just requires skin-to-skin genital contact, and condoms don't cover everything.  HPV is very common, but most people exposed to it don't develop cervical cancer or other abnormalities; most people clear the virus without any problems, and you'd never know you had it.  Even if you have been exposed to HPV from a sexual partner, it's unlikely you've been exposed to all four strains the vaccine protects against, so the vaccine is still beneficial.
