Diseases like HPV, HIV, and hepatitis are behaviorally obtained. The only way you are going to get them is by choice of actions.

Although those diseaes are "behaviorally obtained," it's not necessarily true that everyone who gets them has done so through improper behavior. For example, a young woman who's a virgin marries a man who isn't, the man having acqired HPV from another woman, and that man gives the HPV to his innocent bride. The bride would have been a lot better off with the vaccination than without it.

Exactly right

How about if we leave it up to the “innocent bride” to decide, as an adult, if she feels she needs it before she gets married. If she feels she’s marrying a man, who unlike, herself, is not a virgin than she needs to take the responsibility to protect herself.

The bride would still have the free choice to get the vaccine as an adult prior to marriage.
