Yes. I know something about it. It's called Gardasil. It actually prevents 4 strains of HPV (human papilloma virus) which cause most cervical cancers. It is given in 3 doses over 6 months. It is only for girls and women age 9-26. It should be given before a woman is very sexually experienced because it doesn't do anything if she's already been exposed to those forms of HPV.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a vaccine that targets certain sexually transmitted strains of human papillomavirus that are associated with the development of cervical cancer and genital warts. The only two HPV vaccines currently on the market are Gardasil and Cervarix. Currently it is only limited to young women. Hopefully in the near future, it will be available to young men too.
