Either way, I may very well not be, but I'm still above the age range. Sometimes though I'd rather wait a while before trying something new anyway - problems usually show up much later after people are already using something.

Yes, it is unfortunate that for the time being there are no vaccines for people that have already been infected with HPV, but I wouldn't entirely lose hope. I imagine that the companies producing the vaccine are starting in their studies with a cohort of individuals for which the vaccine is most likely to be successful -- ie. the uninfected. That doesn't mean it won't be successful for women already infected, it just means they haven't tried yet. And physicians, depending on preliminary data, could still prescribe it off-label if the results suggest it could help. Thank you for the link.
