18 or when you become sexually active
whichever comes first....hopefully 18

When you start having sex.

When she becomes sexually active

OR

When she turns 18.

That's what my doctor told me.

when u become sexually active

When she is sexually active.

There is not specfic age. I believe it's after your first period.

well you should go get a HPV shot around 15 but you dont need to have an exam until 21ish or if your sexually active before 21

14.

You should have gotten your period by now and you should go once at 14 just to make sure that everything is normal, then every 2 years MIN until you become sexually active... Then EACH AND EVERY YEAR!

Before you go to the OBGYN you need to go see your gen. doc and get the Gardasil HPV (Genital Wart) Vaccine!

It is a series of 3 shots...

It protects you from the 4 types of HPV that cause a majority of Cervical Cancer.

1 in 4 people OVER THE AGE OF 12 has some form of HPV and it can be spread from sex or just touching... Men can be carriers and not know it.

Get the vaccine NOW just to be careful!
