Abstract
Background: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for men could prevent anal cancers amongst men who have sex with men (MSM).
Methods: An e-survey of attitudes towards vaccination for men in the UK was conducted in July–August 2014.
Results: Among 325 sexual health professionals, 14% were already vaccinating men against HPV, 83% recommended genderneutral 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.
Conclusions: Clear advice and guidelines on HPV vaccine use for men at sexual health clinics are required to ensure equitable opportunities for vaccination.
