I don’t see why you can’t. It won’t help you if you are already infected with the strains the vaccine guards against, but it will help if you don’t have them and want to guard against them. Although, if you are monogomous, there probably isn’t much point.
I am super happy Michael Douglas said something. I preach about this all the time. When actress Colleen Zenk Pinter first came out about her oral cancer being from HPV I saw her in an interview amd she said, “it’s odd because I don’t really have any of the risk factors.” I was so pissed! If she can tell me she never gave any man a blow job then she can say that. She never really explained how people get the HPV, and this was before there was more awareness. The only reason we have awareness is because A pharmaceutical company wants to make money. Doctors amd government were not really getting the message out and we have known for over 20 years the connection of HPV and cancer and that the majority of the population has been exposed to HPV. When Farrah Faucett anounced her cancer and then later died, I only saw one doctor, Sanjay Gupta, talk about it being HPV related. Now on The View today I heard the women on the show talk about what Douglas said and most of them were idiots! Only Elisabeth of all people said maybe it is to raise awareness and a good thing. Sherry talked about now men might be afraid women will give it to them. Um, yeah, that is the point!
Sorry for the rant.
Men can’t be tested really. Not on their penis. You can have your mouth tested like your cervix, and your anus I think. Most doctors won’t or don’t do it though. I’ve asked and they look at me funny. It’s annoying. Women die, what can I say, because of this attitude. Men too. Michael Douglas finally was diagnosed in Canada when doctors here did not diagnose him with cancer.
