HPV ("Cervical Cancer") vaccine for blokes -any point ?

Mike 1972 · 2009-10-22 18:36:15

Given that most of the promotion for it is aimed at women this might sound like a strange question but......... Would there be any point in a bloke having the HPV vaccine either for his own sake or in order to avoid passing it on to his partner(s)

This thread is probably better off in Health Sciences.

Moved from Personal Issues.

I think one of vaccines, gardasil possibly, immunises you against the main strains of HPV that cause genital warts
