Reasons why men are indifferent to HPV

Believing HPV only concerns women and a reluctance to discuss sensitive health issues are key reasons why men remain indifferent to human papillomavirus.

A recent webinar, "HPV Defense in Men – Building a Solid Foundation," organized by VnExpress, aimed to demystify human papillomavirus (HPV) among men and encourage proactive health engagement. The program featured Dr. Le Vu Tan, an andrology specialist from Binh Dan Hospital TP HCM, and singer-songwriter Dinh Manh Ninh. The discussion addressed prevalent misconceptions about HPV in men, underscored why the virus is not exclusively a women's health concern, explored the barriers preventing men from seeking reproductive health information, and outlined strategies for men to consult medical professionals, manage their health, and access HPV prevention methods.
