Can HPV affect men too? The 4 common misconceptions about the infection
HPV can affect all genders
More people are aware of the links to cervical cancer and HPV, so it’s commonly thought that HPV only affects women. However, that’s not the case.
There are several adverse effects for men who contract HPV.
The medical experts said: “HPV can lead to genital warts in both men and women and it has also been found to have links to cancer for men, such as penile or anal cancer, especially for men who have sex with men.
“In fact, HPV vaccinations for gay/bisexual men are available up to the age of 45 on the NHS to protect against this.”
