“…A review of literature shows that the studies conducted on HPV are mostly focused on women, and such matters as quality of life [ 10 ], marital adaptation to the infection (using a quantitative approach) [ 11 ], vaccination [ 12 ], the psycho-sexual effects of being diagnosed with HPV [ 13 , 14 ], women’s experiences of facing their infection [ 15 ], women’s psychological responses to positive HPV test [ 16 ], the information management processes of women living with HPV [ 17 ], and reproductive concerns of HPV- positive women [ 18 ].
