Yeah , you should . If you haven ' t received those vaccinations you definitely can . Especially if you ' re planning on being sexually active . I really can ' t stress enough about the importance of using protection though . These vaccines are good precautions , but they only reduce the chance that you get them . They ' re not a 100 % guarantee . The HPV vaccine definitely reduces your chances of getting HPV , but then again , an honest conversation with any potential partners will also help . Except one night stands . Use protection all the time in any case . Also , don ' t share needles if you ' re into that sort of scene . That ' s another way to contract them . And if you ' re going to go to a hospital , make sure they use fresh , disposable , sterile needles . Do not take injections if the needle has been used before . Condoms are given free in most hospitals . If you want a good balance between cost and durability , Durex is your best choice . The Nirodh ones are cheap , but they ' re not really what you want to use if you can afford better .
