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
Hella dumb. Due to reasons I’m pretty sure that I’m more likely to not have it than the average 16yo. I’d even pay for it myself if it wasn’t like 500€.

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

You can do expensive PCR tests for it but otherwise no, detection comes from tissue samples in the infected area.
I also think the way they disregard it if you’re older is dumb.

As someone with a recent infection, I’d say that it’s worth the 500 tbh
I’d probably go for it if I wasn’t extremely poor and TBH at a very low risk of contracting it in the near future.
