I had a similar experience with my GP. I was essentially dismissed outright (in surprising contrast to an otherwise dynamic/vigorous interest in my health) and am planning on revisiting this with a different GP soon.
While I allow for myself just being ignorant, wrong and vulnerable to working myself up into health scares, I couldn’t help but wonder if men looking into HPV vaccines are brushing up against a doctrinal problem, in that whatever protocols and literature exist for the med field don’t study and don’t mention male-HPV interactions enough to warrant action (or even interest) from GPs as a group.
