Yes - that's why they should be able to make the vaccines for it work. The vaccines, one should note, is only being designed to protect against the 6 or so strains that are known to cause cancer.
"One vaccine would protect against four types of HPV, including two that cause most (70%) cervical cancers (types 16, 18), and two that cause most (90%) genital warts (types 6, 11). This vaccine is being tested in women and men.
The second vaccine would protect against the two types of HPV (16,18) that cause most (70%) cervical cancers. This vaccine is being tested in women."
