A new study has been published showing that almost 1 in 3 men over the age of 15 are infected with at least one genital human papillomavirus (HPV) type, and 1 in 5 are infected with one or more of what are known as high risk, or oncogenic, HPV types.
Australia rolled it out to both genders immediately.
Most western countries only made it available to women as it protected from cervical cancer, ignoring the other protections.
UK only started making it available to boys in routine age vaccinations 3years ago. It was a £400 private charge to get it before that
