Impact of high-risk and low-risk human papillomavirus infections on the male genital tract: effects on semen inflammation and sperm quality.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol
September 2024
Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS) Center of Excellence Centro de Inmunología Clínica de Córdoba (CICC), Córdoba, Argentina.
Article Synopsis
- - Human Papillomavirus (HPV) includes high-risk (HR-HPV) types linked to cancer and low-risk (LR-HPV) types associated mostly with benign warts, but their impact on male fertility is not well understood.
- - A study involving 205 men found HPV in 19% of semen samples, with HR-HPV being more common; however, neither HR-HPV nor LR-HPV significantly affected overall sperm quality.
- - HR-HPV+ men had higher sperm necrosis and reactive oxygen species levels, but surprisingly showed lower inflammation markers compared to controls, highlighting a need for HPV screening in fertility clinics to assess reproductive health risks.
