Incidence of external genital lesions related to human papillomavirus among Mexican men. A cohort study

HPV-related external genital lesions among men residing in Brazil.

The aims of this study were to determine the incidence of external genital lesions (EGLs), specifically histologically confirmed condyloma (genital warts) and Penile Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PeIN), and genital HPV infection progression to EGLs among healthy men aged 18-73 residing in Brazil. Subjects included 1118 men enrolled in the HPV Infection in Men (HIM) study between July 2005 and June...

Incidence and clearance of genital human papillomavirus infection in men (HIM): a cohort study.

BACKGROUND Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) cause genital warts and cancers in men. The natural history of HPV infection in men is largely unknown, and that information is needed to inform prevention strategies. The goal in this study was to estimate incidence and clearance of type-specific genital HPV infection in men, and to assess the associated factors. METHODS Men (aged 18-70 years), residi...

Re: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Genotype- and Age-Specific Analyses of External Genital Lesions among Men in the HPV Infection in Men (HIM) Study.

Human papillomavirus virus (HPV) genotype- and age-specific analyses of external genital lesions among men in the HPV Infection in Men (HIM) Study.

BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes external genital lesions (EGLs) in men, including condyloma and penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN). We sought to determine the incidence of pathologically confirmed EGLs, by lesion type, among men in different age groups and to evaluate the HPV types that were associated with EGL development. METHODS HPV Infection in Men (HIM) study participan...

External genital human papillomavirus prevalence and associated factors among heterosexual men on 5 continents.

BACKGROUND We examined the baseline prevalence of penile, scrotal, and perineal/perianal human papillomavirus (HPV) in heterosexual men (HM). We also evaluated baseline characteristics of HM to assess factors associated with prevalent HPV detection. METHODS We tested serum samples from 3463 HM aged 16-24 years with 1-5 lifetime female sexual partners for antibodies to HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18. W...
