The vaccine is available for women and men ages 9 to 26 so no you are not eligible in the sense of your insurance paying for it. However it can be gotten "off label" at any age but you would have to pay for it yourself which costs about $400 for the three shot series.
Men can use condoms which can reduce the skin to skin contact and also reduce the viral load of HPV DNA being deposited into your vagina which only causes more stress to your immune system having to combate that much more HPV.
