Men can get testicular cancer as well as throat cancer from HPV.
I’m pretty sure they can get penile cancer as well (it’s uncommon tho) and of course, they are passing it along to girls (and other boys as well).
And women can pass it on to their babies. I met a woman at a hospital, waiting for my husband to have surgery a number of years ago. Her grandaughter (high school age) was having her umpteenth surgery to remove growths that closed up her throat. She got HPV from her mom during birth. So, this IS a scourge, but I think the vaccine may give a false sense of security since it apparently doesn’t cover all strains. Behaviors are what need to be dealt with and as long as our culture and media suggest that it’s normal and fun and a great idea to have sex with anyone who stands still long enough, we’ll have these issues.
