A member asked:

My fianc has tested positive for hpv18 in her pap smear. is there an hpv screening for men? and who can i consult for hpv18 treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HPV ?'s: HPV 18 is a subtype of the virus, and can cause cervical cell abnormalities which can lead to more serious problems if not treated. Males may of course also catch HPV, but the conversion to serious abnormalities is unusual in men. The only screening is by exam and biopsy in males. Fortunately, HPV and be treated and risks substantially reduced.
