More Evidence Your Guy Needs The HPV Vaccine, Too

Back in October, the Centers for Disease Control recommended that guys get the HPV vaccine. The series of shots protect against the types of genital human papillomavirus (the number one STD in the country) that cause most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts, but the vaccine has mostly been marketed to and used by women.  

Here’s evidence the vaccine is essential to men as well: The CDC just released the results of a new study that found that men have significantly more oral HPV infections than women. The study discovered that three times as many men have oral infections of HPV, which has been linked to the development of head and neck cancers. And it’s worth noting that incidents of these cancers are on the rise, particularly in men.  

Researchers also discovered that the risk of oral HPV increased the more sexual partners a person had, and the study results pointed out that oral HPV is mostly transmitted through…oral sex.

What does this mean for you? Not only could the men in your life become infected and possibly get sick, if a guy you hook up with has HPV, he can pass it on to you and increase your risk of developing cervical cancer.

So, bring up the vaccine the next time you’re hanging out with guys you care about. If they want more info, tell them that the FDA has approved the series of shots for men up to age 26. Doctors say the shots can also prevent penile and rectal cancer in men, if they needed an added incentive.

Since former presidential wannabe Michele Bachmann recklessly threw it out there before, be prepared that your guy friends might think the vaccine is dangerous. Medical experts maintain that it isn’t, despite Bachmann’s claim that the vaccine “ravages” the body and several studies have found that the shots are safe.
