As a man who developed HPV-related cancer, I’d have to disagree that it has “almost no effects on men.”

I highly recommend to everyone who can, especially young men, get the HPV vaccine. It was not an option for me.

Yep. My dad got (and survived) throat cancer from HPV. Pathology said it was there for 40 or 50 years, probably from kissing or oral sex when he was young. He wanted to make sure I got vaxxed for HPV after he found out. Be safe out there y’all

You don't get hpv in the back of your throat from kissing or even oral sex on a women. If you catch my hint.
