VAC, 2015/2017
Community members have recently been expressing interest in human papillomavirus vaccines (HPV) in online discussions. Health bodies in both the UK and Ireland have recommended that all gay and bisexual men receive the vaccine in order to reduce their risk of certain cancers.
VAC developed a position statement on this issue back in July 2015 in association with Melbourne Sexual Health Centre, which states that VAC believes the vaccines should be made available free of charge to all gay, bisexual and other MSM under the age of 26, and to all people living with HIV.
