Abstract

Abstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States and is linked to anogenital cancers. College-aged males are at high risk for contracting HPV due to a lack of HPV knowledge and low vaccination rates. NPs are responsible for providing this education and in return can help reduce infection transmission.
