Is it worth it to take the HPV vaccination still if I have it?
I’ve only had two partners but I found out last year that I have the high risk HPV that can cause cervical cancer. Dr. recommended I take the Gardasil shot and since I had insurance at the time I thought why not? I had two doses already and I’m due for my 3rd final shot next month.
The problem is, is that I don’t have insurance anymore because I was laid off and the shot is like $300! I have another check up to make sure I don’t need LEEP surgery which is like another $100–200.
Is it worth it to take it? I already have a strain of HPV and even though I’m not married, my bf and I are very serious and plan on marrying one day in the future although not any time soon…
I don’t know if I should just pay up out of pocket for that expensive shot. If I were married would you still suggest the final shot? I turn 26 in 2 months and I know they said after 26 it’s too late.
