A member asked:

As a 33 year old sexually active male, is it safe for me to get the hpv vaccine? (i understand it won't be covered by insurance)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: And not a bad idea. It will help protect both you and potentially your sexual partners from a virus, some strains of which cause cancer.
