Men and HPV vaccination

Reading in mens health on msnbc;  according to a new study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Between 1988 and 2004, head, neck and throat cancers that tested positive in men  for the human papilloma virus rose an astounding 225 percent. 
The suggestion is that these are almost always from male to female oral sex. Furthermore this study predicts that that within the next decade this type of cancer in men will surpass rates of cervical cancer in women.
What seems crazy about this is that maybe all it would take to protect men is to have the same vaccination for HPV that women do. For many of us working in the sexual health field we have been suggesting this since the vaccination became available. Not necessarily for this reason tho. Because both men and women can carry the virus it always seemed sensible to vaccinate the whole population. Now it makes even more sense.
