So, we should vaccinate males because it helps protect against warts?

Yes, but there's more. Also HPV is detected in 42% to 80% of penile cancers (Partridge and Koutsky). Also if you vaccinate males, that's one less infection vector for females.

Of course, for some it's an article of faith that the CDC, FDA, NCI, and other alphabet soup health and medicine institutions are corrupt liars trying to take freedom and kill people to profit lobbyists. And it's all Perry's fault. /s

This recommendation shouldn't surprise anyone. Gardasil was approved for use in males by the FDA in 2009.

Last I checked, it takes two to tangle. Nobody much is getting this from doorknobs.

Having witnessed years ago four or five male co workers suffering from a disease they picked up in contact with a female co worker (within a month), I question the presumption of who is giving what to whom.

We keep being told if only....then it will be SAFE!

Well, apparently that hasn't been done, and only one behavioural change will actually be safe.

Presuming that none will behave that way is a presumption of guilt.
