    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

      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.

        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€.
