Majority of American adults are unaware that the most common sexually transmitted disease, HPV, can lead to a variety of cancers, research says.
The first HPV vaccine was recommended in 2006 for girls only as a way to prevent cervical cancer. But since then, the science has shown men, too, are at risk for HPV-related cancers, as well as conditions like genital warts. Boys weren't added to the HPV vaccine recommendation schedule until 2011.
Kids need two shots, six months apart; teens and young adults over age 15 need three doses. Unvaccinated people up through age 45 may also get the shots based on personal HPV risks.
