Given the sexually transmitted nature of human papillomavirus (HPV), some worry the HPV vaccine will create a false sense of security and promote adolescent sexual activity. Media coverage of vaccines can influence social norms, parental attitudes, and vaccine acceptance; in this paper we examine U.S. news media messages related to sexuality and HPV vaccination. Drawing on a structured analysis of 447 articles published during 2005-2009, we qualitatively analyzed a purposive sample of 49 articles discussing adolescent health behaviors related to HPV vaccination. Commonly, articles discussed vaccination in the context of abstinence-only versus comprehensive sexual health education; cited research findings to support vaccination or sex education; argued against connecting vaccination to promiscuous behavior; but included fear-inducing messages. Media messages concerning health behaviors related to HPV vaccination tended to support government and parental involvement in sex education, and dismiss concerns linking vaccination to sexual activity, while also presenting the vaccine as lifesaving.
鉴于人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）的性传播性质，一些人担心 HPV 疫苗会造成一种虚假的安全感，并促进青少年的性活动。媒体对疫苗的报道可能会影响社会规范、父母的态度和疫苗的接受度；在本文中，我们研究了美国新闻媒体与性行为和 HPV 疫苗接种相关的信息。我们对 2005 年至 2009 年期间发表的 447 篇文章进行了结构化分析，并对 49 篇讨论与 HPV 疫苗接种相关的青少年健康行为的有针对性的文章进行了定性分析。通常，文章在禁欲教育与全面性健康教育之间讨论疫苗接种；引用研究结果来支持疫苗接种或性教育；反对将疫苗接种与滥交行为联系起来；但也包含了引起恐惧的信息。有关 HPV 疫苗接种相关健康行为的媒体信息往往支持政府和父母参与性教育，并对将疫苗接种与性行为联系起来的担忧不屑一顾，同时也将疫苗宣传为拯救生命的工具。
