    Almost everyone has HPV and for most people (especially cis men) its harmless. But if you are young, please get the shot to protect the uteruses in your life.

      They only vaccinate 9-18 year olds here now, with main focus being <14 I believe (of both genders). I could get a shot myself, but it’s like 200€. And I’m not that young anymore, I probably have some form of HPV, though I could also check to see if my recent test included it.

      I swear they used to vaccinate men under 26 or 27 and all women at some point. I think I was a year above the limit back then, but I could be wrong

      AFAIK it can still cause cancer no matter who you are, that’s why i jumped on the offer for a free vaccine.
