The Body
The Complete HIV/AIDS Resource
September 14, 2010
The authors assessed US physicians’ attitudes and perceptions regarding potential human papillomavirus vaccination of males in a random sample of 2,714 pediatricians and family practitioners identified in administrative claims of a US health plan as HPV vaccinators of females.
Of the 595 pediatricians and 499 family practitioners who participated, most said they would recommend HPV vaccination to males ages 11-12 (63.9 percent), 13-18 (93.4 percent), and 19-26 (92.7 percent) years. Physicians agreed that males should be vaccinated to prevent transmission of genital and anal warts (52.9 percent strongly, 36.0 percent somewhat) and to protect females from cervical cancer (75.3 percent strongly, 20.8 percent somewhat).

However, the United States lacks an integrated approach to sexual health. Public health programs such as sexually transmitted disease (STD)/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention and family planning are categorically funded and organizationally fragmented, and federal reproductive health programs in the past decade emphasized abstinence. As a result, sexual health indicators are poor.
