Understanding HPV in Men and Women

HPV, short for human papillomavirus, is a sexually transmitted virus that can affect both men and women into adulthood.

For most people, HPV clears on its own. But, for those who don’t clear the virus, HPV can lead to certain cancers and diseases. There’s no way to know which people who have HPV will develop cancer or other health problems.

HPV Is More Common Than You May Think—Even in Adults

~79 MILLION

men and women in the US are infected with HPV, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

~80%

of adults will be infected with HPV at some point in their lifetime.

You Can Have the Virus and Not Even Know It

You could get infected through any type of sexual activity with someone who has HPV. Intercourse is the most common way people get HPV, but any genital skin-to-skin contact can put you at risk.

And, since HPV often has no signs or symptoms, people can get the virus and pass it on without even knowing it.
