If I'm not mistaken, the risk of infection with males is not as high as females. For females, having had 6 or more partners raises their risk multiple times (9 times higher if I remember correctly). It makes sense because of the biological structure of the female genitalia; it is receptacle-like and contains/retains more sexually exchanged fluids than the male's. In any sex act, it is almost certain that the female will receive more fluid than the male, and retain those fluids inside her longer, in her vagina, anus, and mouth/throat. In essence, she is literally on the receiving end of whatever nasties males give her. This is the reason why females also have a much much higher risk of becoming infected by STDs. Anyway the HPV vaccine is not yet conclusively tested on and available to males although it's been considered in Australia.
