Vaccines

Give your sex life a shot in the arm! Vaccines can prevent many diseases, including some that are sexually transmitted, like HPV and hepatitis.

One important prevention tool against sexually transmitted infections is vaccination. Currently, vaccines are available to protect against infection with HPV, hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Other vaccines are under development, including those for HIV and herpes simplex virus (HSV).
