HPV vaccine
I am 29 years old (married). I got HPV few years back. I had many warts near genital area but cleared in few months after taking medication. I was wart free for a long time but few months ago i got a single wart near genital area and its growing in size. I visited a gynecologist and she told me to surgically remove it and also to get HPV vaccine.
I want to know if i should get hpv vaccine even if i have hpv currently and if my husband should also take it? And if it is safe?

You both should take it.
If you are infected with 1 type of virus then by vaccination you will get protection with other types of hpv viruses.
