Dynamics of genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infections among males eventually being uncovered

Dynamics of genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infections among males eventually being uncovered.

S tudies addressing the type-specific outcomes of cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infections in women started emerging since the early 2000s, resulting in prolific literature and more profound understanding of the dynamic nature of these viral outcomes (incident infections, persistence and clearance) in the female genital tract. Despite the fact that scattered studies on genital HPV infecti...

Human Papillomavirus Genital Infections among Men, China, 2007–2009

To determine prevalence of genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among men in rural China, we analyzed genital swab specimens. Among 2,236 male residents of rural Henan Province, HPV infection prevalence was 17.5%. The most common oncogenic and nononcogenic types were HPV-16 and HPV-3, respectively. Infection was associated with younger age and multiple sex partners.

Distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes in genital warts from males in Slovenia.

BACKGROUND Genital warts (GWs) are the most frequent benign tumors in the anogenital region of both males and females. Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are etiologically associated with the development of virtually all GWs. HPV-6 and HPV-11 are the most commonly detected HPV genotypes, but at least 20 other alpha-HPV genotypes have occasionally been found in GW tissue specimens. OBJECTIVE There i...

Molecular diagnosis of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections.

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) comprise more than 100 genotypes. The mucosal types can be divided into high-risk and low-risk (LR) types depending on the associated disease risk. HPV infection is mainly diagnosed by molecular methods, since reliable serological tools are not available and culture of the virus is not possible. Accurate molecular diagnostic techniques that can be used to inform pa...
