  "abstract": "Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) remains one of the most common sexually transmitted infections globally and is a leading cause of anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers.1 Although traditionally regarded as a women’s health issue because of its well-established association with cervical cancer and cervical screening programmes, HPV also contributes substantially to disease burden in men.2 Highly effective vaccines are available to prevent HPV infection and associated malignancies in both sexes.3 Many countries have therefore expanded vaccination programmes for HPV to include males.4 However, vaccine uptake among men remains suboptimal, and this disparity is often attributed to factors such as knowledge, perceived risk, cost, and healthcare provider recommendation.5,6",
