Yes, HPV (human papillomavirus) can be transmitted to men through sexual contact with an infected person. Both men and women can carry and spread the virus, often without showing symptoms. While HPV is more commonly associated with cervical cancer in women, it can also lead to other types of cancer in men, such as penile and oropharyngeal cancers. Practicing safe sex and getting vaccinated can help reduce the risk of transmission.
HPV is passed on through genital contact-most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex. Since HPV usually causes no symptoms, most men and women can get HPV-and pass it on-without realizing it. People can have HPV even if years have passed since they had sex. Even men with only one lifetime sex partner can get HPV.

While HPV vaccines are primarily recommended for preteens and young adults, both males and females can benefit from receiving the HPV vaccine. Vaccination in males helps protect against HPV-related cancers, such as penile and oropharyngeal cancers, as well as genital warts. Therefore, while it's not mandatory for men, it is encouraged for their health and to reduce the spread of HPV.
HPV is the abbreviation for Human Papillomovirus. Some HPV types can cause cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancer among women, penile cancer among men, and anal and some oropharyngeal cancers among both men and women. Other HPV types can cause genital warts among both sexes.
The hpv vaccine does not protect you from all strains of the hpv virus. Check with your doctor on what strains are covered.
