Evaluation of male consorts of women with genital human papilloma virus infection.

Ninety male partners of women with genital condylomata were evaluated for evidence of condylomata by visual examination of the genitalia with the colposcope, urethroscopy, and biopsy. Fifty-three men (59%) were found initially to have condylomata and nine other cases were found on reevaluation for a total prevalence of 69%. Thorough evaluation with the use of acetic acid, magnification and liberal use of biopsy is stressed.
