Seconded!
And I say this as a man who thought I didn't need it because I can't get cervical cancer. But it turns out oropharyngeal cancer might be just as preventable with the HPV vaccine.

Annoyed at how the guidance has changed on this over the years. At first it was just a narrow slice of 20 something women. Then girl teenagers. Then men and women under 30. Then under 40.
If it has an association with preventing cancers, not sure why they were so reluctant to immediately open up the patient pool.

This is how science works. Our understanding of a medication's efficacy evolves over time.

Is the vaccine still useful post infection?

US citizens used to value the adults managing such science oriented endeavors actually doing their homework before making broad proclamations of efficacy. Lately, not so much.

I know very little about this so excuse me if this is a stupid question. In my country all teenage girls have been getting the vaccine for at least the last 15-20 years. Therefore all of the women I'm likely to sleep with are vaccinated. Does it still make sense as a man to get it?

yes. many different strains and even if your body clears infection with one doesn’t protect against other strains

I guess I am a weirdo, but vaccines are the closest thing we have to space magic. Generally, they are very safe and prevent some of the most devastating diseases. All for the most minor discomfort. I want everything I can get, even if I am unlikely to be exposed to the real infectious agent.
