A member asked:

Does the hpv in men prevent reproduction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: Hpv is a virus that is spread by close physical (often sexual) contact. The virus can cause warts, dysplasia (pre cancer) and sometimes can cause cancer (of the cervix, vagina, vulva, anus, and penis). In men, hpv infection generally does not impact fertility / reproduction.
