Several studies have identified HPV in human semen, mainly from men recruited at fertility or maternity clinics and also in semen from sperm donors. The prevalence of HPV in semen and semen abnormalities at the UTH is not known and hence the goal of this study is to generate baseline data with a view to promoting further research on the effects of HPV infection on male fertility.
