作者评估了年轻男性对生殖器人类乳头瘤病毒（HPV）感染的知识和认知，以确定预测积极行为改变意图的因素。年龄在18至25岁之间的男大学生完成了一份自我报告工具，以评估生殖器HPV感染的知识和认知。如果被诊断患有HPV，大多数男性（95%）报告说他们会与新伴侣使用避孕套。减少性伴侣数量的意图与认识到HPV可能对女性造成严重后果有关，而鼓励女性性伴侣接受巴氏涂片检查的意图与提高HPV感染的一般知识有关。作者得出结论，将男性纳入HPV教育和预防工作是很重要的，特别是在HPV可能导致女性伴侣患宫颈癌的背景下。
The authors assessed young men's knowledge and perceptions of genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection to identify factors that predict intention to make positive behavioral changes. Male university students aged 18 to 25 years completed a self-report instrument to assess knowledge and perceptions of genital HPV infection. If diagnosed with HPV, most men (95%) reported that they would use condoms with new partners. The intention to reduce number of sex partners was associated with an understanding that HPV may have severe consequences for women, whereas intention to encourage female sex partners to undergo Pap smear screening was associated with increased general knowledge of HPV infection. The authors concluded that it is important to include men in HPV education and prevention efforts, especially within the context that HPV may lead to cervical cancer in female partners.
