What vaccines can protect against sexually transmitted infections

I appreciate your concern for your health and the health of others, as understanding vaccinations can play an important role in preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It's important to be informed about what options are available for protection. There are two primary vaccines that can protect against certain sexually transmitted infections: 1. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine: This vaccine helps protect against many strains of HPV, some of which can lead to genital warts and various cancers, including penile and anal cancers in men. It's recommended for preteens and can be given up to age 26 (and sometimes recommended for certain men up to age 45). 2. Hepatitis B Vaccine: This vaccination protects against Hepatitis B, a virus that can be transmitted through sexual contact. Hepatitis B can lead to serious liver problems, including chronic infection and liver cancer. The vaccine is typically given in a series of three shots and is particularly recommended for sexually active individuals and those at higher risk. It's important to talk to your healthcare provider about your individual risk factors and whether these vaccines are appropriate for you. Staying informed and taking preventive measures is a significant step towards maintaining your health and wellbeing. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. Your health matters!
