My d., college senior, and many of her friends just got the HPV vaccine this year. Even a couple of the girls who have had positive changes on Pap smears due to HPV were told by GYNs to go ahead and have the vaccine as they may have been exposed to one but not all four of the covered viruses.

From American Social Health Association:

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus. It has been estimated that 75% or more of sexually active Americans will contract HPV sometime in their lives.
