If you're living in the US: please consider getting the vaccine, ragardless of your age. It was covered by my (rather shitty) health insurance. It consists of just 2 (EDIT: 3 for adults!) doses. It is recommended for both Males and Females.
If you’re not sexually active, is it still worth doing?
By way of contrast, America's current top "doctor" organized a class-action lawsuit against the HPV vaccine. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/...

And note i believe they just increased the recommended age of administration up to ~40yo? Throat cancer sucks. Get the vax.
Why is there an age limit on an all encompassing vax, wasn't the famous posterchild for this disease Michael Douglas?

Not like disease prevention is a universally good thing and some people tend to have sex.
At the end of the day, religious radicals like STDs because it enforces their worldview that having multiple sexual partners in a lifetime is a sin.
Does the vaccine benefit you if you've already been infected?
Potentially, yes. HPV infections are cleared over time, and there are many strains of HPV.
Am I understanding that correctly?
