Cervical cancer
Definition

Cervical cancer is a disease in which the cells of the cervix become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors.

Description

In the United States, cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer among women aged 35鈥?4, and the third most common cancer of the female reproductive tract. In some developing countries, it is the most common type of cancer. It generally begins as an abnormality in the cells on the outside of the cervix. The cervix is the lower part or neck of the uterus (womb). It connects the body of the uterus to the vagina (birth canal).

It would be much better to get immunized first. The immunization protects you from infection with certain strains of HPV, the virus that causes cervical cancer. If you are already infected, the immunization won't help you, and you will still have an increased risk of cancer. They will still give you the jab if you have had sex, since it would be difficult to tell if you boyfriend had infected you, but it might not be effective at preventing cancer.
Best advice - wait to have sex, don't wait to get immunized. Your boyfriend should be man enough to wait to protect your health. Oh, and use a condom every time. There are a lot of sexually transmitted diseases that can't be prevented by immunization and you don't want to pick up one of those.

My daughter had her HPV vaccination after she had become sexually active as it was not available until them.

Some medical practitioners will want to know if you have been sexually active as part of the procedure, so they are able to offer complete advice.

If you are not comfortable discussing your sexual activity status with your mother and medical practitioner, you are not emotionally mature enough to engage in sexual activity.

Yes, you can. I know certain people myself who've had it themselves but who have already had sex. Just be honest with the nurse though when you first go up to get the jab. She may ask if you've been sexually active, so don't lie.

Yes.
I've had my jabs and I wasn't even asked anything about my sexual activity! I guess some nurses might ask you though.
If you do just make sure to use protection, as the HPV virus can be sexually transmitted.

You sound young, you shouldn't be having sex with your boyfriend in the first place! enjoy being a girl and not worrying about getting pregnant or relationships. You will regret having sex at such a young age when you're older.

you can, but they will ask you if you're sexually active. if you can't admit it, you're not mature enough for it.

Yes, you can have cervical cancer if you have had sex,
but they will ask you if you have had sex.

Lay off sex with your boyfriend as he'll probably dump you when he ejaculates anyway.
