Remember I am NOT a doctor so I may be totally wrong, but...

Firstly,I don't know if a doctor would be willing to jeopardize their malpractice insurance by using a drup in a non FDA approved way.

Secondly, the Gardasil vaccine works by exposing the body to a synthetic HPV virus so that the immune system will produce antibodies that will protect against a real HPV virus invasion. Once the body has already been exposed to the virus, the vaccine is ineffective which is why Johns Hopkins is trying to develop a treatment for a previously exposed body. Others have tried to develop a similar vaccine but have failed according to my RO at Moffitt so lets hope JH is successful.
