Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Anal Human Papillomavirus Infection in Men Who Have Sex with Women: A Cross‐National Study

Abstract

Anal canal HPV infection is commonly found among MSW, and the prevalence of infection with HPV-16 may differ substantially by geography. Men who have a larger lifetime number of female sex partners, who are in a sexual relationship of <1 year in duration, and who have a history of oral or anal sex with men were most likely to have an anal HPV infection.
