In a terrifying new study, researchers found that nearly half of adult men have genital HPV infections.
Overall, 45.2% of men had genital HPV infections, and 25.1% had at least one high-risk HPV subtype (the kinds that could potentially lead to cancer).
But — hold on — there's an HPV test for men?!
Unfortunately, among all men in the study who were eligible for the HPV vaccine, just 10.7% of them had actually been vaccinated.
HPV was actually less common in younger men, probably because they (and/or their partners) had been vaccinated.
So how scared should we be that SO MANY MEN are walking around with HPV infections?
