The HPV vaccine protects you from the human papillomavirus (HPV). There is currently one HPV vaccine that is approved for use in men. The Gardasil HPV vaccine protects you from genital warts.

Because genital warts can be prevented!

Genital warts is a common STD (sexually transmitted disease) and is highly contagious. Any men who have ever had sexual contact may be infected with HPV and subsequently develop genital warts. The more sex partners you have will also mean the higher chance you will get this STD.

If you have genital warts, you may have noticeable symptoms on your sexual organs, most often small stalks. Having genital warts may cause you pain, affect your sex life, emotions, and self-image. Even after treatment, the disease may recur.

Furthermore, if you have been infected with HPV, you may transmit the virus to your sex partner. Women infected with HPV can also develop genital warts. And more importantly, cervical cancer may develop as a result of HPV infection.

Therefore, all men should be vaccinated against HPV to prevent genital warts. You can protect yourself as well as your sex partners. The vaccine protects men from 90% of external genital lesions caused by HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18. These include external genital warts and penile cancer.

The HPV vaccine is recommended for boys as young as 9 years of age. Ideally, the vaccine should be administered before the onset of sexual activity. However, men who are already sexaully active may also benefit from vaccination.

Screening for HPV is not required before receiving the HPV vaccine. The chance of having been infected by more than one type of HPV is minimal. Any men can get various degrees of benefits from vaccination, regardless of whether they have been previously infected or not.

Our doctor may ask you a few questions about your health status before giving you the HPV vaccine. You should discuss individual concerns with our doctor before receiving the vaccination.
