There was a significant differences in the correct answer rate about knowledge items toward the HPV between the gender. Female students were more correct answers than male student about 'HPV can be prevented with vaccine' (x2 =5.90, p=.019), but male students were more correct answers than female student about 'low risk virus make dysplasia of cervix area' ( x2=.01, p<.001) and for man, 'HPV can occur genital cancer, so preventive exam is necessary' (x2 =.7.26, p=.013). In attitude of HPV vaccine, male was higher attitude score than female about 'I am afraid of side effects of HPV vaccine' (t=2.704, p=.007). But female was higher attitude score than male about 'I don't need HPV vaccine' (t=-1.984, p=.049), 'I am not interest in HPV vaccine' (t=-2.339, p=.020), 'HPV vaccination may lead to unsafe sex' (t=-2.304, p=.022).
