This is the first time I’ve heard about that connection. If we are to believe the claims of those marketing Gardisil, they are discriminating against the gay male population and should be held accountable!

Good one! Better gay men get this vaccine than 10 year old girls (the approximate target age for the ad campaign).

HPV and Men - CDC Fact Sheet

Some men are more likely to develop HPV-related diseases than others::

* Gay and bisexual men are 17 times more likely to develop anal cancer than heterosexual men.
* Men with weak immune systems, including those who have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), are more likely than other men to develop anal cancer. Men with HIV are also more likely to get severe cases of genital warts that are hard to treat.
