Hi,
I can only add information that you might have already found on the Gardasil website. "GARDASIL is the only human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of HPV. In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases."
There are DNA HPV tests available which are used to detect both high risk and low risk HPV types. Here is the link to the website, Lab Tests Online: http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/hpv/tab/test
I think you will find a good deal of helpful information to answer your questions.
