Sexual healthcare professionals’ views on HPV vaccination for men in the UK
Sexual healthcare professionals’ views on HPV vaccination for men in the UK
background: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for men could prevent anal cancers amongst men who have sex with men (MSM).
methods: An e-survey of attitudes towards vaccination for men in the UK was conducted in July–August 2014.
results: Among 325 sexual health professionals, 14% were already vaccinating men against HPV, 83% recommended gender-neutral HPV vaccination and 65% recommended targeting MSM. Over 50% reported having poor knowledge about the use of HPV vaccine for MSM and the skills to identify MSM likely to benefit from HPV vaccination.
conclusions: Clear advice and guidelines on HPV vaccine use for men at sexual health clinics are required to ensure equitable opportunities for vaccination.
