“…There is an increasing body of evidence to suggest that men with HPV infection may play an important role in the transmission of HPV to women and the development of cervical cancer in women as well as cancer at several sites in men (Giuliano et al, 2007;Giraldo et al, 2008) . In general, the prevalence of genital HR-HPV infection in men ought to be higher than that in women.…”

“…The justification for such use of HPV testing is also reinforced by the fact that there is no generally accepted and validated test for HPV screening in males in the clinical practice, but the general consensus endorses testing in cases when the patient has the HPV positive partner, when HPV-related clinical manifestations are present and when the patient has sex with men (27)(28)(29). Lenzi et al accentuate that test which can identify both high-risk and low-risk HPV is clinically most useful as it enables differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lesions as well as those related or not related to HPV (e.g.…”

SUMMARYAim: The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence and distribution of both low-risk and high-risk HPV infection of the urethra and outer genital region in Croatian men. Thus far there is a consensus that sampling the coronal sulcus and glans of the penis is essential for adequately assessing HPV status in men but less agreement is noted for urethral sampling.Methods: External genital brushing and urethral swabs were taken from 1,342 men during a 12-year period and tested with the hc2 HPV DNA Test using Hybrid Capture 2 technology.Results: The overall prevalence of male HPV infection in this study was 36.66%. Infection with high-risk HPV types (44.72%) was significantly more frequent than infection with low-risk HPV types (28.86%) or co-infection with both low-risk and high-risk HPV types (26.42%). HPV was more frequently demonstrated in the outer genital area (58.33%) when compared to the sole infection of the urethra (17.89%) or infection of both genital sites (23.78%).Conclusions: Results from this study indicate high prevalence of HPV infection in men and suggest that optimal sampling method for the testing of men is the combination of external genital and urethral swabs. Further research about the proper collection of biological samples and testing methods for HPV detection in men is necessary since our future end-goal is to implement standardized guidelines on sampling and diagnostic testing of males.

“…However, while HPV infection was found in 71 to 90% of the partners of HPV-infected women (Hippelainen et al, 1994;Nicolau et al, 2005), only 52% harbored the same HPV subtypes (Reiter et al, 2010). Moreover, penile intra-epithelial neoplasia is rare and detected in less than 2% of the men in contact with oncogenic HPV (Giraldo et al, 2008). We thus analyzed HPV infection and anti-HPV16 E2 blood T-cell responses in asymptomatic male partners chronically exposed to HPV16 during sexual intercourses with their wives affected with usual VIN (Jacobelli et al, www.intechopen.com 2011, , unpublished data).…”
