Genital HPV infection is the most common viral sexually transmitted disease, which is confirmed by all Bulgarian and international publications in recent years. In our country, it has been studied more extensively in women, but there are no sufficiently detailed and representative studies among men. The epidemiological significance of the most common clinical manifestation in men - anogenital warts, is determined by the high contagiousness and increased risk of malignancy and development of anogenital carcinomas.
The study covered 166 men with HPV genital warts in outpatient dermatovenereological practice. The profile of the studied group is presented through data on age, social status, educational qualifications, place of residence, sexual partnership, virological examination to determine the genotype of the causative agent.
