85% of sexually active people will get an HPV infection according to the CDC

Protect yourself with the HPV vaccine Gardasil today. Call the UNI Student Health Clinic at 319-273-2009 to make an appointment and meet with people who care. Additionally, use condoms or dental dams during vaginal, oral & anal sex as the vaccine does not protect against all HPV types or other sexually transmitted infections.
