Key Points

This research examines the prevalence and types of human papillomavirus (HPV) among men in Wuhan, China.
Cross-sectional design focusing on a male population in Wuhan
Assessment of HPV prevalence and genotypic characteristics
Comparison of infection rates among different age groups
HPV infection prevalence is relatively high among men
Low-risk, single-type infections are most common
Adolescents (≤ 20 years) and older men (≥ 60 years) are identified as high-risk groups

Abstract

In this group of males in Wuhan, HPV infection prevalence was relatively high and dominated by low-risk, single-type infections. Adolescents (≤ 20 years) and older men (≥ 60 years) are at highest risk. These findings support enhanced HPV education targeting youth and the elderly and broader promotion of HPV vaccination among males.
