Genital Human Papillomavirus Infection in Men: Incidence and Risk Factors in a Cohort of University Students

Abstract

Genital HPV infection is common and multifocal in young men, and its incidence is higher than that reported for similar cohorts of young women. The high rates of HPV infection in men should be considered when strategies for the prevention of HPV infection in female adolescents and young women are being developed.
