We tested a urethral swab from 550 HIV-negative males with genital warts and 64 HIV-negative males clinically free of genital warts, partners of HPV-infected females, using the HC2 Microplate assay. A perianal swab was also obtained from patients with perianal warts. In the first group, HPV DNA of any type was detected in 280 (50.9%) patients. Relatively few patients with urethral or perianal warts demonstrated a negative test (both P &lt; 0.0001). Low-risk types were commoner, accounting for 60.0% of the HPV cases, high\/intermediate-risk types accounted for 23.6%, while 46 men (16.4%) were infected with both types. Of 13 subjects (20.3%) of the second group who tested positive for HPV DNA, 61.5% were infected by low-risk types, 23.1% by high\/intermediate-risk types and 15.4% had a dual infection. In conclusion, male partners of infected females and males with genital warts are predominantly infected by low-risk HPV types, but a substantial proportion is also or only affected by high-risk types. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/095646207780749574","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,22]],"date-time":"2007-05-22T10:22:56Z","timestamp":1179829376000},"page":"329-334","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Human papillomavirus assay in genital warts \u2013 correlation with symptoms"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Maria","family":"Hadjivassiliou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sexually Transmitted Infections Unit, Dermatology Department, Andreas Sygros Hospital, University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Stefanaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sexually Transmitted Infections Unit, Dermatology Department, Andreas Sygros Hospital, University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Electra","family":"Nicolaidou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sexually Transmitted Infections Unit, Dermatology Department, Andreas Sygros Hospital, University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Bethimoutis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sexually Transmitted Infections Unit, Dermatology Department, Andreas Sygros Hospital, University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vassilios","family":"Anyfantakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sexually Transmitted Infections Unit, Dermatology Department, Andreas Sygros Hospital, University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chrysseis","family":"Caroni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Katsambas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sexually Transmitted Infections Unit, Dermatology Department, Andreas Sygros Hospital, University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,1]]},"container-title":["International Journal of STD &amp; AIDS"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/095646207780749574","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/095646207780749574","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,1]],"date-time":"2025-03-01T15:14:42Z","timestamp":1740842082000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1258\/095646207780749574"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1258\/095646207780749574"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/095646207780749574","relation":{},"ISSN":["0956-4624","1758-1052"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0956-4624","type":"print"},{"value":"1758-1052","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,1]]}}}
