41. Actually, I expect it will become universally recommended

Since the research so far has concentrated on cervical cancer, its on-label use may currently only be for females; but that wouldn't stop a concerned man from getting it off-label. And since HPV can also cause penile cancer and gender-neutral head and neck cancers, vaccinating everybody against it may not be a bad idea.

As a survivor of oral squamous cell carcinoma, one of the cancers that HPV can cause, I'd trade seven weeks of radiation for a quick shot anyday...
