"You should not get [Cervarix] because you want to treat an existing infection," Hildesheim said. He added, "The question that has not yet been answered is whether protecting [a woman] from reinfection of a virus that she has previously been infected with, and successfully cleared, will in fact reduce that woman's risk of getting cervical precancer and cancer".
GSK spokesperson Liad Diamond, said the results of the study are "completely expected." GSK and Merck, which makes the HPV vaccine Gardasil, said their vaccines are not intended to treat existing infections, adding that the study's findings confirm their companies' research.
