Aims:
This study aims to determine the factors that influence the acceptance of the HPV vaccination among German males.
Patient & Methods:
In 2014, we conducted a population-based cross-sectional study in men aged 15-25 years. A questionnaire was mailed to male trainees of the Bayerische Motorenwerke AG (BMW) insured at the BMW health insurance company.
Results:
The response rate was 10.8%. Of the 378 included men, 74.1% would agree to receive HPV vaccination. Most men primarily consult their physician for health-related topics, but 92.9% had never been informed about HPV infection, risk factors and prevention methods by their doctor.
Conclusion:
Our results demonstrate a high acceptance of male HPV vaccination. Education about HPV infection is low and should be intensified by medical professionals.
