It's not about being politically correct, it's about public safety, especially since HPV can give boys cancer, just not cervical cancer for obvious reasons.

Can you provide evidence for this? As far as I know, boys can't get cancer from HPV. I hadn't even heard of this virus until last year.

From the Mayo Clinic:

In men, genital HPV infection is considered a major cause of penis (penile) cancer. It is also associated with cancer of the anus and other genital cancers. These cancers are most common in males with HIV infection. In addition, HPV has been linked to oropharyngeal cancer. The oropharynx is the part of the throat just behind the mouth.

Men can get anal cancer that's supposed to be associated with HPV. I'll bet that marketing would go real far.
