My Doctor told me that men who get HPV complications "probably deserve it". [View All]

I am not making this up. We discussed Guardasil yesterday and this guy's smart, thorough, and takes his time with his patients, which is why I respect him.

At any rate, I asked why the State (TX) wouldn't also want to mandate males receiving the vaccine, since they can get complications--like penile cancer, for example.

That's when he said most men who get HPV complications "probably deserve it". I, taken aback, asked "How do they 'deserve it' "?!! he said they're probably engaged in very risky behaviors and often get it "in prison".

I interpreted this to mean they're having gay sex. I was so shocked I dropped the subject.

How can an otherwise intelligent, compassionate man think this way?
