Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that can cause common diseases. Most patients have no disease symptoms, but a few high-risk types can be life-threatening. HPV infection is prevalent all over the world, and it causes increase the burden of disease treatment every year, so the control of HPV infection has become a current research hotspot. However, there is still a lack of a unified understanding of the gender differences in HPV-infected patients. Therefore, this article describes the epidemiological significance of different diseases caused by HPV, compares the differences in the prevalence of different genders and different sexual orientations, describes the risk factors, and introduces the current hot spot treatment methods. Studies have shown that homosexuality has a higher risk of HPV than heterosexuality. At the same time, risk factors such as smoking, unclean sex, and frequent replacement of sexual partners will increase the probability of HPV infection, resulting in the emergence of different complications and affecting life. So it is advocated that people should prevent HPV virus infection early, actively treat complications, and conduct targeted general surveys for high-risk groups.
