In recent years, health experts have emphasized the importance of awareness around human papillomavirus (HPV). It is one of the most common viral infections worldwide, affecting both men and women. Yet, conversations often focus only on women’s health, overlooking the fact that men, too, are impacted by HPV and its potential long-term consequences.
HPV is often referred to as a “silent” virus. Most people do not realize they have it because symptoms rarely appear. However, its presence can still cause health issues later in life. By increasing awareness, encouraging vaccination, and practicing preventive measures, men can significantly reduce their risks while also protecting their partners.
This article takes a closer look at what HPV is, how it spreads, why it matters for men, and the proactive steps that every individual can take to safeguard their health.
