According to public health surveys, vaccination of men against human papillomavirus (HPV) can contribute to decrease the spread of HPV and thereby reduce the risk of genital warts and HPV-related cancers. The incidence of head and neck cancers is increasing among young men as a result of transmission of HPV by oral sex. French guidelines only propose HPV vaccination for girls. This study was designed to assess the acceptability of HPV vaccination among male adolescents and to identify barriers to this vaccination.
From May to June 2013, an anonymous questionnaire with closed answers was distributed to 882 male students in five randomly selected high schools in Lorraine.
Of the 328 respondents, 47% had heard of HPV, 79% knew that HPV was responsible for cervical cancer but only 39% knew that HPV caused genital warts and 67% thought that HPV vaccination only protected girls. The lack of knowledge associated with the poor perception of being at risk could explain the majority of the 41% undecided subjects.
Information campaigns including men concerning the risk of HPV infection should help to increase acceptability.
根据公共卫生调查，男性接种人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗有助于减少HPV传播，从而降低尖锐湿疣和HPV相关癌症的风险。由于口交传播HPV，年轻男性头颈癌的发病率正在上升。法国指南仅建议女孩接种HPV疫苗。本研究旨在评估男性青少年对HPV疫苗接种的接受程度，并确定这种疫苗接种的障碍。
2013年5月至6月，向洛林地区随机选取的五所高中的882名男学生发放了一份封闭式答案的匿名问卷。
在328名受访者中，47%听说过HPV，79%知道HPV会导致宫颈癌，但只有39%知道HPV会引起尖锐湿疣，67%认为HPV疫苗只对女孩有保护作用。与对风险认识不足相关的知识缺乏，可以解释41%未做决定的受试者中的大多数情况。
针对男性开展关于HPV感染风险的宣传活动应有助于提高接受度。
