ORIGINAL: DesFIP Men think they don't need the vaccine because they transmit but don't get it. However there are cases of meningitis in men caused by HPV. And this is why my son, protesting the whole time, is getting the vaccine. I don't want him ill and I also don't want him to be Typhoid Mary. Men can also get oral cancer from HPV. In fact it is more common in men, although doctors and researchers don't yet know why. Men can also get penile cancer. Men and women can both get anal cancer which is the type of cancer that killed Farrah Fawcett. And Des, it's herpes that can cause meningitis, not HPV, but I can understand your confusion.
