Abstract：Objective To investigate the awareness of knowledge about HPV infections and the willingness to HPV vaccination among male university students in Tongzhou District, Beijing Municipality, so as to provide insights into the formulation of the HPV vaccination strategy among males. Methods A total of 997 male university students in Tongzhou District were selected as the study subjects using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method, and a self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the awareness of HPV infections and HPV vaccine, and willingness to HPV vaccination. In addition, the factors affecting the willingness to HPV vaccination were identified. Results A total of 935 subjects were enrolled, with a mean age of (19.08±1.38) years, and there were 570 subjects with a Beijing household registration (60.96%). Among the 313 male university students that had heard of HPV, the awareness of HPV and HPV-related diseases was 59.42%, and among the 300 male university students that had heard of HPV vaccines, the awareness of HPV vaccines was 75.33%. The willingness to HPV vaccination was 38.50%, and the willingness was high among male university students with a non-Beijing household registration ( χ2=3.971, P=0.046 ), high household annual income ( χ2trend=6.219, P=0.013 ), short distance to vaccination clinics ( χ2=19.238, P<0.001 ), having heard of HPV ( χ2=11.188, P=0.001 ), having heard of HPV vaccine ( χ2=14.548, P<0.001 ), awareness of HPV and related diseases ( χ2=16.855, P<0.001 ) and awareness of HPV vaccine ( χ2=19.299, P<0.001 ). Conclusions The awareness of HPV and HPV vaccines and the willingness to HPV vaccination are low among male university students in Tongzhou District. Improving the correct recognition of HPV and HPV vaccines and the access to vaccination services are helpful to improve the willingness to HPV vaccination among male university students.
