CDC guidelines are nonsense here and I fail to see why they would give them. Is there a vaccine shortage?

The claim is that you're more likely to catch the virus early in your life and thus "lifetime efficacy" is reduced as you grow older. Duh, this is true of any vaccine. There are various strains of HPV and you can catch them one after the other. Having HPV at 50 is just as painful as when you're 18, if not more since your immune system is less effective.

The second part of I don't understand this advice is that they say there's no HPV test for men because the result is non-actionable. What? HIV is also nearly "non-actionable" but knowing one has it definitely reduces the chances of spreading it, does it not?

I don't get it.

I got the vaccine in my thirties against doctor's advice.

Please get the vaccine if you're sexually active with more than one person, regardless of your age.
