Abstract
Of 1490 participants (median age 33 years [IQR:25-44]), 1,053(71%) were MSM. HPV vaccination intention was high (mean 1.68, 95%CI:1.55-1.81 among MSW; mean 2.35, 95%CI:2.29-2.42 among MSM). In multivariable analyses, socio-psychological determinants had similar effects on intention in both groups (R2=0.70 among MSW; R2=0.68 among MSM), except for subjective norms, self-efficacy, and HPV knowledge (significantly stronger associations among MSW). HPV vaccination intention decreased significantly when vaccination would require out-of-pocket payment; intention was negative at the current list price (â¬350). HPV vaccination intention among male clients of the Amsterdam STI-clinic is high and variance in intention was mostly be explained by socio-psychological factors. Out-of-pocket payment had a strong negative effect on HPV vaccination intention.
