What Is HPV?
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common sexually transmitted virus that occurs in both men and women. The virus is what is behind those embarrassing genital warts that men can get on their penis, testicles, anus and groin area.
How Do You Get HPV?
The virus is spread through skin-to-skin sexual contact. It can be during vaginal, anal or even in rare instances, oral sex. A condom offers more protection, but not enough in most cases because there are still uncovered areas of the genitals that can become infected.
What Are The Symptoms Of HPV?
The most common symptom by far is genital warts that appear on the penis, testicles or anus. They look somewhat like cauliflower and may be raised or flat on the surface.
Genital warts can begin to appear within weeks or months of becoming infected. In some cases it may be years before showing up. Genital warts are almost always painless.
Is There An HPV Test For Men?
Currently, there is no HPV test for men. They do have one for women, but it is part of a cervical cancer screening and will not work for men. Some experts have claimed a Pap test for men will show whether you are infected, but there is no conclusive evidence it works.
Is There A Cure For HPV?
There is no cure for HPV, but there are treatment methods to get rid of genital warts and reduce the symptoms.
