The problem with that vaccine is that they only give it to young people. If you're over 30, you're outta luck. Basically they assume that if you're over 30 and are sexually active, you already have HPV.

It's true that it's not effective if you already have HPV, but it's also relatively side-effect free, so many doctors have started becoming willing to prescribe (if you ask) on the theory that if you don't have HPV, it could be lifesaving for you or your future partners, while if you do have HPV, it has no effect.
