Summary
This trial will test whether the 9-valent HPV vaccine is safe and effective in preventing HPV-related oral infections in men.

They must not have a history of HPV-related cancers or lesions, severe allergies to vaccine components, immune system problems, or be taking certain medications that affect the immune response.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of the 9-valent human papillomavirus (9vHPV) vaccine in preventing persistent oral HPV infections compared to a saline placebo. Participants will receive three doses and those initially given a placebo may later receive the actual vaccine.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site like pain and swelling, headaches, fever, nausea, dizziness. Severe allergic reactions are rare but could occur due to ingredients such as yeast or aluminum.
