Abstract
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection associated with HPV-related precancers, genitals warts, penile cancer, anal cancer, and oropharyngeal cancer in men. While HPV vaccination has historically targeted females, there is a growing recognition of the need to prioritise vaccination for men in Singapore. This consensus statement aims to provide a unified perspective on the significance of HPV vaccination for men in the Singaporean context, grounded in current scientific literature and local health considerations.
