In 2003, following initial reports of high efficacy for prevention of human papillomavirus (HPV) through prophylactic vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention incorporated surveillance for genital HPV infection in women as part of the biannual National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES)[1]. With> 10 years of follow-up, these efforts have illuminated the high burden and the age-specific distribution of female genital HPV and, most recently, the population impact of HPV vaccination in reducing quadrivalent HPV vaccine (4vHPV)–associated genotypes among US women [1–3]. In this issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, Gargano et al report the genital HPV prevalence in the other half of the population—a nationally representative sample of US men, included in the NHANES for the first time in 2013–2014 [4]. These data, compared with previously published estimates in women [2], confirm that the burden of genital HPV is shared equally by men and women in the United States. Specifically, penile HPV infection with any one or more of 37 HPV genotypes (ie, high-risk HPV [HR-HPV] and/or low-risk HPV) was detected in 42.2% of
