The vaccine
What Is Gardasil 9?
Gardasil 9 is an FDA-approved HPV vaccine that protects against nine strains of the human papillomavirus, including the types that cause most genital warts and the high-risk types linked to cancer. It offers broader protection than earlier HPV vaccines, and it works best when given before any exposure to the virus.
- Covers the wart-causing types HPV 6 and 11
- Covers high-risk cancer types including 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58
- Broader coverage than older HPV vaccines
- Recommended for both men and women

Is it for you
Who Should Consider Gardasil 9
Gardasil 9 is recommended for a wide age range, generally from 9 to 45, with the greatest benefit when given before any HPV exposure. It is still worth considering even if you are already sexually active, because it can protect against strains you have not yet encountered.
- Sexually active men and women
- Those before or after their first sexual experience
- People with more than one partner
- Anyone concerned about HPV-related disease
- People whose partner has been diagnosed with HPV

Prevention and detection
HPV Testing and Screening
Vaccination prevents new HPV infections, while screening helps detect an infection you may already have. The two work together. Depending on your situation, your doctor may suggest simple testing alongside vaccination.
- Simple urine-based HPV testing in selected cases
- Helps identify an existing infection early
- Testing supports, but does not replace, vaccination
- Your doctor advises based on your risk and symptoms

Why it matters
HPV Is Common, and Largely Preventable

Often overlooked
HPV Affects Men Too
HPV vaccination is often thought of as something only for women, but men are affected just as much. Men can carry HPV without symptoms, pass it to partners, and develop genital warts and cancers of the penis, anus and throat. There is no routine HPV screening for men, which makes prevention through vaccination even more valuable.
- Men can carry and spread HPV without knowing
- Protects against male genital warts and cancers
- Helps protect current and future partners
- No routine HPV screening exists for men, so prevention counts

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have a question? Our team can answer privately on WhatsApp or by phone.
Is the HPV vaccine worth it for adults, not just teenagers?
Yes. While it works best before HPV exposure, adults up to around 45 can still gain real protection against strains they have not yet met, which is why it is offered to grown men and women too.
Does the vaccine contain any live virus?
No. Gardasil 9 does not contain any live virus, so it cannot give you HPV. It works by training your immune system to recognise and fight the virus.
What if I miss a dose or run late?
You do not need to restart the course. We simply continue from where you left off and give the remaining doses. We will remind you when each one is due.
Do women still need cervical screening after the vaccine?
Yes. The vaccine greatly lowers risk but does not cover every cancer-causing type, so routine cervical screening is still recommended for women.
Can I have it alongside other vaccines?
In most cases yes. Tell your doctor what you have had recently and they will confirm the safest timing for you.
Is Gardasil 9 available for men in Malaysia?
Yes. Gardasil 9 is licensed for both men and women in Malaysia. For men it protects against the HPV types that cause genital warts and against penile, anal and throat cancers, and it is recommended roughly between ages 9 and 45.
How many doses do I need?
Adults usually need three doses over about six months. Younger adolescents may only need two. Your doctor confirms the right schedule for your age.
Can Gardasil 9 cure an existing HPV infection?
No. The vaccine does not treat an infection you already have, but it helps prevent the other HPV strains you have not yet been exposed to.
Is the vaccine safe for adults?
Yes. Gardasil 9 is safe and effective for adults within the recommended age range, with only mild and short-lived side effects in most people.
Do I need HPV testing before vaccination?
No, testing is not required before vaccination. Your doctor will advise if testing is useful in your particular case.
Can I still benefit if I am already sexually active?
Yes. Vaccination is still worthwhile after sexual activity has begun, because it can protect against HPV strains you have not encountered yet.
How long does protection last?
Studies show long-term protection lasting many years after completing the full course, and routine boosters are not currently required.
Will my visit stay private?
Yes. Consultations are confidential and your records are handled in line with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
