Researchers in Austria examined foreskin tissue from 133 males who underwent circumcision and found: 1) Low-risk HPV genotypes were present in 18.8% of samples and high-risk HPV in 9.77% of samples. 2) The presence of HPV, particularly high-risk strains that can cause cancer, suggests vaccinating boys before sexual activity to help prevent transmission through contact. 3) While HPV vaccination of girls is accepted to prevent cervical cancer, this study provides novel evidence that vaccinating boys too could help reduce HPV infection rates in both sexes.
