The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine was recently approved for use in males. Certain groups, such as men who have sex with men (MSM), are at increased risk of HPV infection. The purpose of the study was to understand perceptions of HPV and the vaccine among adolescent and young adult males, both heterosexual and MSM. Seventy-six males (45 heterosexual, 31 MSM) completed a questionnaire and participated in a focus group. Overall, 42% had heard of HPV and 39% had heard of the HPV vaccine. Males had moderate to favorable attitudes toward vaccination, although intentions to vaccinate were more neutral. MSM were more knowledgeable, aware, and in control of the decision to vaccinate than heterosexual males. Increasing awareness and knowledge about HPV and the vaccine may be necessary to encourage vaccination; certain subgroups of males may be more receptive to HPV vaccination than others.
人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗最近已获准用于男性。某些群体，如男男性行为者（MSM），感染 HPV 的风险增加。本研究的目的是了解青少年和年轻男性（异性恋和 MSM）对 HPV 和 HPV 疫苗的认知。76 名男性（45 名异性恋，31 名 MSM）完成了一份问卷，并参加了一个焦点小组。总体而言，42%的人听说过 HPV，39%的人听说过 HPV 疫苗。男性对疫苗接种的态度是中等至有利的，尽管接种疫苗的意愿更为中立。MSM 比异性恋男性更了解、更关注、更能掌控接种疫苗的决定。为了鼓励接种疫苗，可能需要提高对 HPV 和 HPV 疫苗的认识和了解；某些男性亚群可能比其他亚群更容易接受 HPV 疫苗接种。
