Currently, vaccines are available to protect against infection with HPV, hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Hepatitis B virus can be passed on by body fluids semen, vaginal secretions, and blood and is most often transmitted through sexual contact. It can also be contracted when injecting drug users share needles and other injecting equipment. While hepatitis B can cause a mild illness, it can also be a more serious chronic infection, with complications including cirrhosis scarring of the liver and even liver cancer.
The hepatitis B vaccine is safe, and the most commonly reported side effect is soreness at the injection site. Hepatitis A is transmitted primarily through oral contact with feces oral-fecal contact. This includes contaminated food or water sources and sexual contact, especially oral-anal sex. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC recommends hepatitis A vaccination for all children and adolescents, as well as people who are at increased risk for hepatitis, including:.
Two shots, six months apart. The combined vaccine is given in three doses over six months. The hepatitis A vaccine is effective and provides long-term protection after the second dose. Soreness at the injection site is the most common side effect reported.
Human papillomavirus HPV is the name of a group of viruses that infect the skin. They may include swelling or pain at the injection site, or feeling faint after getting the vaccine. As with other vaccines, there is a rare chance of an allergic reaction. A few people have reported health problems after getting the shot. The FDA is monitoring the vaccine closely to make sure these are not caused by the vaccine itself. Most people have no trouble with the vaccine. You can make fainting less likely by sitting down for 15 minutes after each shot.
For people who have sex, condoms offer some protection against HPV. Condoms can't completely prevent infections because hard-to-see warts can be outside the area covered by a condom, and the virus can infect people even when a partner doesn't have warts.
Also, condoms can break. Spermicidal foams, creams, and jellies aren't proven to protect against HPV or genital warts. Reviewed by: Christina M. Shultz, MD and Taina A.

This hepatitis B vaccine was the first human vaccine produced by recombinant DNA methods. Researchers inserted the code for the antigen into yeast cells, which produced more of the surface protein.
The yeast-derived surface protein produced immunity to the hepatitis B virus. What are some ways you can reduce your chances of contracting an STD? Article Menu [ ]. Vaccine Science [ ].
