Abstract:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most prevalent sexually transmissible pathogens worldwide. In males HPV infection may lead to various diseases, including anogenital warts, anal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, and penile cancer, with incidence rates of these conditions increasing in recent years across the majority of global regions. This expert consensus systematically reviews the epidemiological characteristics of HPV infection and its associated morbidities in males, delineates primary and secondary preventive strategies, and establishes recommendations in the following domains: public awareness and health education, vaccination strategies, and screening approaches. The goal is to provide theoretical foundations and practical guidance for reducing the burden of HPV infection and related diseases in males.
