Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for men could prevent anal cancers amongst men who have sex with men (MSM).
An e-survey of attitudes towards vaccination for men in the UK was conducted in July-August 2014.
Among 325 sexual health professionals, 14% were already vaccinating men against HPV, 83% recommended gender-neutral HPV vaccination and 65% recommended targeting MSM. Over 50% reported having poor knowledge about the use of HPV vaccine for MSM and the skills to identify MSM likely to benefit from HPV vaccination.
Clear advice and guidelines on HPV vaccine use for men at sexual health clinics are required to ensure equitable opportunities for vaccination.
男性接种人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗可预防男男性行为者(MSM)中的肛门癌。
2014年7月至8月在英国开展了一项关于男性接种疫苗态度的电子调查。
在325名性健康专业人员中,14%已为男性接种HPV疫苗,83%建议进行不分性别的HPV疫苗接种,65%建议针对男男性行为者。超过50%的人报告称,他们对用于男男性行为者的HPV疫苗的使用以及识别可能从HPV疫苗接种中受益的男男性行为者的技能了解不足。
性健康诊所需要就男性使用HPV疫苗提供明确的建议和指导方针,以确保公平的接种机会。
