Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major health problem that affects young people and adults. At present, thousands of people are infected by HPV in various parts of the world. In men, this infection can result in the development of cancers of the penis, oropharynx and anus. Surprisingly, in 2017, both Brazil and Argentina started to offer HPV vaccination for boys and/or male adolescents in their national vaccination calendars.
