HPV is a common virus that affects both females and males. It is spread through genital skin-to-skin contact and infects about half of all sexually active men and women at some point of their lives. Transmission can occur even without penetrative sex!
There is no laboratory test available to detect HPV infection in men whereas women can be tested thru pap smear test. So bros out there who has a gf or wife, do encourage them to go for yearly pap smear test as some high-risk HPV can lead to the development of cervical cancer. Also using a condom will help to reduce the risk of HPV.
There is no cure for HPV infection.
