    Abstract:
    Cancer of the uterine cervix has been related to HPV infection, based on clinical and laboratory data. The high recurrence rate in couples undergoing treatment for HPV infection points to a probable viral reservoir, either in subclinical lesions or in male internal genital organs. We have evaluated 31 men, all sexual partners of women with HPV infection. Eleven patients (35.5%) had related lesions: 4 (12.9%) with condyloma acuminatum; 5 (16.1%) with lesions revealed by magnified examination after reaction with 5% acetic acid and 2 (6.5%) with condyloma and subclinical lesions. A short-term follow-up confirmed a successful treatment with podophyllin.
