The HPV virus is also slowely being implicated in causing some throat, neck, and tonsillar cancers in men. The vaccine in men helps prevent those too. It is argued that everyone should get it, and the younger the better (younger as in around 14, not 20's or 30's).
Yeah. I got it because it was free for me and I was pretty confident I didn't have it. Seemed like a no downside thing.
Better at 14, but you can still do it later
