“…These findings might suggest that the genital area may be a major transmission route of HPV infection compared to the anal area as major reservoir. This would be consistent with other work which has noted that risk of HPV infection may be increased with particular sexual behaviors [4, 28, 29], and reinforces the importance of condom use and HPV vaccination for adolescent boys. While a majority of MSM practice both receptive and insertive anal intercourse and may be at risk for HPV infections at multiple anogenital sites [7], these findings reinforce that MSM are a diverse group with variable risk dependent on an individual’s behaviors.…”

Background Little is known about human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and genotypes when considering both anatomic site and HIV status among men who have sex with men (MSM) in low- and middle-income countries. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among MSM in Beijing, China. HIV status was determined, and genital and anal HPV genotyping were performed from respective swabs. Results Of 1,155 MSM, 817 (70.7%) had testing for genital (611; 52.9%) and/or anal (671; 58.1%) HPV. Preference for insertive anal sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.60; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.42–4.75) and syphilis (aOR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.01–2.23) were associated with genital HPV. Inconsistent condom use during receptive anal sex (aOR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.17–2.84), and HIV seropositivity (aOR, 2.90; 95% CI, 1.91–4.42) were associated with anal HPV. Among 465 (40.3%) MSM with specimens from both anatomic sites, anal HPV (68%) was more common than genital HPV (37.8%). Prevalence of anal HPV was higher among HIV-infected than uninfected MSM (P<0.01). Some oncogenic HPV types were more commonly found at the anal site of HIV-infected MSM (P<0.01). Conclusions HPV is highly prevalent among Chinese MSM. Anal HPV was more common than genital HPV, and HIV seropositivity was associated with oncogenic HPV types at the anal site.

“…Neoplastic viruses causing cervical cancer are transmitted sexually, by either sexual intercourse, skin‐to‐skin contact (Schiffman et al . 2007) or any sexual activity involving contact with body fluids (Epstein 2005). Other risk factors include early sexarchy, smoking and multiple sexual partners (Walraven 2003; CANSA 2005).…”

The purpose of the study was to determine the level of knowledge regarding cervical cancer among Black men living in Ga-Rankuwa, South Africa. A quantitative survey was conducted. The population consisted of 980 (n = 980) convenience sampled men. Self-reported data were gathered using a structured interview and a pre-tested questionnaire served as data gathering instrument. The study provided evidence that men living in Ga-Rankuwa did not have knowledge of cervical cancer. None of the sample mentioned the HPV as risk factor while some knew that having multiple sexual partners add to a woman's risk. It is, however, doubtful whether the respondents experienced themselves as those with the multiple partners. More than 90% of the sample (n = 963) reported to have had more than one sexual partner in the previous 5 years while less than a quarter indicated that they would have to change their sexual behaviour to prevent cervical cancer. Men add to the cervical cancer burden in South Africa as their knowledge would not enable them to protect their partners from HPV infections, motivate them to be screened or allow them to protect themselves against this dreadful disease.

“…Furthermore, one in every three college students and more than 40% of parents believed that using condoms would prevent them from getting infected by HPV. Although few studies support the use of condoms (Epstein 2005; Winer et al . 2006), others found no epidemiological evidence that condoms reduce the risk of HPV infection (Manhart & Koutsky 2002).…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the awareness of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections both in male and female adults in Hungary. A self-administered, anonymous questionnaire was completed by 785 college students and parents between January and May, 2009. The results were analysed by gender and age. Participants' knowledge about HPV and HPV-associated conditions was relatively incomplete. One-third of the respondents had never heard about HPV prior to the survey. Almost half of the respondents (42%) thought that the only sexual way of spreading HPV was vaginal intercourse, while the role of skin-to-skin contact was disregarded (6%). More than one-third of the participants (38%) believed that condoms give full protection from HPV infection. Encouragingly, the majority of respondents (64%) were open to further information about sexually transmitted diseases. The most trusted sources of information were health professionals. When talking about children, parents attributed the major role in delivering information about sexually transmitted diseases to schools. Primary prevention through carefully planned educational programmes may further raise the awareness about HPV-associated conditions, thus reducing the comparatively high mortality of cervical carcinoma in Hungary.
