The gardasil vaccine protects against several strains of the HPV virus (which causes genital warts and cervical cancer). It does NOT protect against pregnancy, or any other STDs (including HIV/AIDS). I personally recommend that all young women get this vaccine because HPV can be transmitted through skin to skin contact even if there is no intercourse. Please use safe sex practices and be honest with your partner.
