Study finds high HPV prevalence in subset of Peruvian men

(University of California - Riverside) A few years ago, Brandon Brown of UC Riverside assembled a team of researchers in Lima, Peru. The result of their work is the first study in that country to report human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in men who have sex with men (MSM) in multiple anatomical sites and suggesting benefit of the HPV vaccine in this population. The study is the first to examine HPV epidemiology and concordance at multiple anatomical sites in Peruvian MSM.
