Condom use and the risk of genital human papillomavirus infection in young women
Article Abstract:
Studies were conducted to evaluate whether the use of male condoms reduces the risk of male-to-female transmission of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The findings indicate that among newly sexually active women, consistent condom use by their partners appears to reduce the risk of cervical and vulvovaginal HPV infection.
