HPV has been shown to cause anal, penile, and oral/throat cancers in men, and not just homosexual men. I expect that it is only a matter of time before everyone is getting an HPV vaccine. I've heard complaints about side effects from the currently available vaccine, but I have not yet heard anything that definitively links these effects to actual vaccine. The problems could just be coincidental. I’ve worked in health care related fields, and I’ve heard talk about making HPV vaccines available, and possibly mandatory, for men.

Very good vaccines, from what numbers I hear. The religious organisations were getting very upset by the idea of a vaccine for an STI, for reasons I don't need to go into in detail here. I am sure all those reading can work out the reasons and the excuses used to cover the reasons. It was HPV that first got me interested in religious-political debate, when I read an article in which a representative of the FRC was quoted saying that vaccinating someone against HPV was 'potentially harmful' because it would encourage premarital sex.
