The University of Central Florida is a school that heavily supports its football team. After achieving an extraordinary run of not dropping a single game last year, this year is highly anticipated to bring the same results. The stands are full of students who are thundering after every catch. Any team that visits the Spectrum Stadium knows the energy and passion that each college student gives to support UCF. Students wouldnt bring that same enthusiasm if they knew the vulnerability of catching a sexually transmitted disease (STD). In particular, male college students neglect to inform themselves of the risk of a common STD on college campuses human papillomavirus (HPV), that same uncertainty could be said about students who havent received the HPV vaccine. Female students when it comes to resources about HPV are more equipped with knowledgeable websites that help a afraid student deal with the effects of HPV. They are far more easily available due to
a previous false assumption that HPV can only be transmitted through the female reproductive organ. Its a common fact that STDs are more accepted to be spread in a college and universities because of the overwhelming lack of awareness of the exposure without the proper protection. This is directly caused by the students, in their first year of being away from home, having a taste of freedom from their parents grasp. They are more likely to obtain a sexually transmitted disease (STD), as a result of being more independent, they dont have anyone looking out for them. The focus group explored in this paper is a male college student with knowledge of HPV, a male students observable behaviors through the thought process of seeking to take the vaccine and addressing the improvement of strategic vaccination uptake to diminish the spread and transmission of HPV (Larsen, D., 2014; Johnson, C., & Ogletree, R., 2017; Cunningham-Erves, J., & Talbott, L. L., 2015).
