  1. A theory-based online tutorial plus brief motivational interviewing via phone was effective in increasing the uptake of three doses of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine over a 24-month follow-up period among men who have sex with men in Hong Kong.
  2. Changes in perceived susceptibility to HPV/HPV-related diseases and perceived barriers to HPV vaccination during the follow-up period led to the behavioural change.
  3. The intervention was integrated into existing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing and counselling services implemented by a non-governmental organisation focused on HIV prevention in Hong Kong.
