Trends and Characteristics Associated With Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Uptake Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in the United States, 2014-2017.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV-associated cancer rates are high among men who have sex with men (MSM). The US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends HPV vaccination for all MSM through age 26 years. We examined trends in HPV vaccine uptake among young US MSM between 2014 and 2017.

Methods

Cochran-Armitage tests and estimated annual percentage changes were used to examine annual trends (2014-2017) in HPV vaccination initiation among US MSM ≤26 years as of 2011 who participated in a nationwide annual cross-sectional online survey. We identified independent correlates of HPV vaccination in 2017 using Poisson regression modeling.

Results

There were 2,381 participants in 2014; 4,143 in 2015; 3,926 in 2016; and 3,407 in 2017. Mean age was 23.
