Hello, I believe I have hpv but have no symptoms. I have started on gardasil 9. Does it reduce chances of transmission of hpv to a new partner?

Hello. There are many serotypes of hpv (6,11, 16,18,31,33 etc. The efficacy of the vaccine to some extent decreases once infection occurs, however it still provides protection. It also provides protection from other serotypes.(the type from which you have not been infected. The best thing for your partner will be to give her hpv vaccine and also to undergo cervical screening.
