More than genital warts: HPV infection also poses a danger to men!

Date:

About 80 percent of Austrians become infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV) – usually through sexual intercourse. This can lead to a number of extremely unpleasant and even life-threatening diseases. The focus is mainly on women and it is underestimated that men are also affected.

An infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) usually goes unnoticed and can cause various diseases depending on the type of virus (more than 200 types are known). Most of these are harmless, but malignant diseases can also develop – and not just in the genital area. Numerous studies have shown that HPV infections also occur in men and pose a risk to health and fertility.
