The study has interesting marketing implications as an HPV vaccine for men will likely be approved in the near future. Another important thing to note is that the study participants included only 18 to 20 year-old male college students.

“Thinking about the benefit to their own health — protection again rare genital cancers and genital warts — is all men really need to know; telling them all that extra stuff really isn’t going to push them one way or another,” said Mary Gerend, assistant professor of medical humanities and social sciences at the FSU. The study was published in the journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

My thoughts: While it would be nice for young men to get vaccinated against HPV, I don’t think women should rely on it!

How do you feel about the study results?
