Can men be treated to get rid of of hpv like women do? how? what treatment should they go through? what needs to be done? surgery?!

Dr. Albert Melaragno answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

None: at this time there is no treatment to rid a person of the HPV virus,. That is why we are vaccinating young men and women against the most common cancer causing strains of the virus men who are positive should use a condom to prevent spread of the virus

Dr Amico Jr and another doctor agreed
