Gardasil-9 HPV Vaccination for Men: What You Need to Know <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"HPV Vaccination in Men<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Human papillomavirus (HPV)<\/strong><\/a> can infect both men and women. Low-risk HPV strains 6 and 11 cause genital warts,<\/strong> including penile warts<\/a>, anal warts, and scrotal warts in men<\/a>. High-risk HPV strains 16 and 18 cause penile cancer<\/a>, anal cancer, and prostate cancer in men<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Men of all ages are equally at risk of HPV infections.<\/strong> In addition, studies show that women of all ages have significantly higher antibody titers than men. This means men have a poorer immune response<\/strong> to the virus compared to women.<\/p>\n

HPV is transmitted through close skin-to-skin contact<\/strong> during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Men with HPV infections put their female sexual partners at risk for genital warts and cervical cancer.   Men are also at risk for HPV related cancers such as penile cancer, anal cancer, prostate cancer<\/a>, and oral cancer<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

HPV-associated infections can be significantly reduced in men by vaccination with Gardasil-9<\/strong><\/a>. This vaccine protects against 9 of the most common strains of the HPV virus that cause genital warts and cancers. Vaccination is good for everyone \u2013 men and women.<\/p>\n

HPV Vaccination Schedule in Men: At What Age Should Men Get Gardasil?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ideally, HPV vaccination should be given to pre-teens and teens (ages 12-16), but adult men can also benefit<\/strong> from HPV vaccination with the Gardasil-9 vaccine.<\/p>\n

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends Gardasil vaccination in boys and girls at age 11 or 12 years old. Two doses of Gardasil-9 are recommended for boys under 15 years old.<\/p>\n

Three doses of the HPV vaccine are recommended for males aged 15 and older<\/strong>. Men between the ages of 22 and 45 years are strongly advised to be vaccinated by the CDC.  CDC (Centers for Disease Control) chose the age of 45 years for vaccination for men based on cost analysis.  <\/p>\n

Older men may also benefit from HPV vaccination and at New York Urology Specialists<\/a> we offer the option of HPV vaccination to men of all ages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When Should the Second and the Third Dose of Gardasil Be Given?<\/h2>\n

The second dose of HPV vaccine<\/strong> must be given at least two months after the first dose<\/strong>. The third dose must be given at least four months after the second dose. This time lag is necessary is to allow the immune response to develop. It takes a minimum of 6 months<\/strong> to complete the HPV vaccine series in men and women.<\/p>\n

HPV Infection<\/h2>\n

HPV (human papillomavirus) i<\/a>s very prevalent.  It causes genital warts<\/a><\/strong> in men.  It also causes genital warts in women.<\/p>\n

In addition, HPV causes penile cancer<\/strong> and anal cancer in men and also causes vaginal and cervical cancer in women.  HPV is a sexually transmitted disease.  There is no known cure<\/strong> for HPV infection.<\/p>\n

Why Should Men Get the HPV Vaccine?<\/h2>\n

Gardasil provides multiple benefits.  It protects men from HPV strains that cause genital warts.  It also protects men from anal cancers, which are particularly prevalent in men who have sex with men.<\/p>\n

In addition, the HPV vaccine for men also indirectly protects women<\/strong><\/a>, as male sexual partners are less likely to infect them with HPV. In fact, studies show that women have a strong preference for their sex partners to have HPV vaccination.<\/p>\n

What Does it Cost to Get the HPV Vaccine for Men? <\/h2>\n

The cost of the HPV vaccine is in the range of about $350 per injection.<\/p>\n

Insurance Coverage for HPV Vaccination with Gardasil-9 Vaccine for Men<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Based on the CDC recommendations, insurance coverage for Gardasil is available to men under the age of 45<\/strong>. Men older than 45 years old may also derive benefit from the HPV vaccine, but must pay for it out-of-pocket.<\/p>\n
