farrrah fawcett just passed away from anal cancer caused by HPV....i agree with need help....i think this HPV is going to do alot more damage then the doctor realize....this HPV is spreading like a wild fire, and the doctor kinda tell you "dont worry its going to happen to  everyone at some point in their life"..."8 out of 10 women get it"....it is serious it does stay with you for forever.....yes your body might let the disease lay dormant but its still present....we need to take care of each other......use condoms.......

In my opinion, it isn't worth worrying about. Penile cancer affect less than one out of every 100,000 men in the united states, and less than half of these cases are related to HPV.

It's a myth that HPV doesn't affect men. It can cause penis cancer. It obviously causes warts. Studies have found HPV in the urethra, vans defrens and epididymis in men and breast in women. It is my opinion that research will one day show that HPV causes more problems than currently thought.

You probably have it, or have had it, in fact, you may have been the source. Couples almost always share HPV infections. Men will not show symptoms of the high risk strain of HPV, and there is no test you can take to determine if you are infected. While infected, men can pass the virus to different women, but fortunately the virus rarely persists for longer than a couple of years.
