| epidemiology of human papillomavirus infection among fishermen along lake victoria shore in the kisumu district, kenya. | the epidemiology of human papillomavirus (hpv) infection in men in kenya is largely uncharacterized. we set out to determine the prevalence and determinants of hpv infection among sexually active fishermen along lake victoria in the kisumu district of kenya. | 2008 | 17991686 |
| prevalence and risk factors of human papillomavirus infection by penile site in uncircumcised kenyan men. | human papillomavirus (hpv) prevalence was estimated from 2,705 sexually active, uncircumcised, human immunodeficiency virus seronegative men aged 17-28 years in kisumu, kenya. hpv prevalence was 51.1% (95% confidence interval: 49.2-53.0%) in penile cells from the glans/coronal sulcus and/or shaft. hpv prevalence varied by anatomical site, with 46.5% positivity in the glans/coronal sulcus compared with 19.1% in the shaft (p < 0.0001). high-risk hpv was detected in 31.2% of glans and 12.3% of shaf ... | 2010 | 19626601 |

| Multiple human papillomavirus infections and type competition in men. | Background. There is little information on multiple human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and the potential for type competition in men, yet competition may impact the type-specific efficacy of HPV vaccination. Methods. Among 2702 uncircumcised men in Kisumu, Kenya, who were seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus, the observed numbers of HPV types detected were compared with the expected number, which was simulated under the assumption of independent infections. To assess the potential fo ... | 2012 | 22058418 |
