they do suggest that you have the HPV vaccine before you are sexually active (which is why they give it to 12- 13 year olds as apparently 90% (or something high like that) have it from unprotected sex - (its very very common)so it could be too late - not sure if you can have a test to say if you have it or not - doesnt always turn up on the smears.]]> Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:53:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31279&PID=920681&title=hpv-vaccine#920681 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31279&PID=919893&title=hpv-vaccine#919893 Author: monikah

yea totally i guess in my head the smears are great for catching out abnormal cells that are caused by HPV but they still need to be treated and stuff. although the vaccine only targets the 2 main strains of the virus it still stops you getting those 2 strains therefore hopefully preventing causing the abnormal cells and reducing the need to have them treated. the smears therefore still check for the other strains but your safe from the most common ones if that makes sense. i dont really have anything to lose, it doesnt cost much and reduces my chances so may as well]]> Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:20:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31279&PID=919893&title=hpv-vaccine#919893 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31279&PID=919736&title=hpv-vaccine#919736 Author: sweetpea

The thing that gets me about this is that they are still going to have to have smears so i do wonder if its worth it.]]> Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:11:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31279&PID=919736&title=hpv-vaccine#919736 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31279&PID=919422&title=hpv-vaccine#919422 Author: monikah

Give a medical centre a call and ask them the cost - its registered to woman up to 45 - but as you say only funded to 26 - which means once you turn 26 your not free

I have a feeling its about $120 but Id imagine it depends on where you live / go]]> Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:09:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31279&PID=919217&title=hpv-vaccine#919217 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31279&PID=918774&title=hpv-vaccine#918774 Author: monikah

Sorry don't know about cost, but I just assumed that it was only available for people born 1990 onwards, didn't realise you could pay for it separately if you wanted it.]]> Sun, 31 Jan 2010 13:46:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31279&PID=918769&title=hpv-vaccine#918769 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31279&PID=918757&title=hpv-vaccine#918757 Author: monikah

so the cut off is 26 years old. does this mean once you turn 26 you cant get it any more and you can still get it when your 26. (probably dum question. lol) also where about can it be done and for roughly how much?
