ABSTRACT
Background: We assessed the accuracy of selfcollected human papillomavirus (HPV) specimens in men
compared with clinician-collected specimens from men in
British Columbia and determined the prevalence of HPV
subtypes at different male genital sites.
Methods: Heterosexual men were recruited at the
Provincial Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Clinic in
Vancouver, Canada. Participants were randomly assigned
to conduct self-collection or clinician-collected specimens
first. Clinicians obtained specimens using emery paper
followed by saline-moistened Dacron swab from three
genitourinary sites: glans penis/foreskin, penile shaft
(ventral and dorsal surfaces) and scrotum. Participants
received written instructions and took specimens from
one of the three sites using the same technique as
clinicians. HPV testing was performed with the Roche
Amplicor HPV test and samples found to be reactive were
tested with the Roche Linear Array HPV typing assay to
establish the HPV genotype(s) in the sample.
Results: Overall prevalence of any HPV genotype from
any site was 69.8% in clinician-collected specimens and
55.3% in self-collected specimens. Order of collection
(clinician vs self-collected) did not impact on the
prevalence of HPV in the specimens. The k scores for
agreement between clinician-collected and self-collected
specimens ranged from fair to excellent. Overall, there
was better agreement between self-collected and
clinician-collected specimens for HPV-18 (range: k = 0.88
to 0.92) than for HPV-16 (range: k = 036 to 0.62).
Conclusion: HPV is a prevalent genital tract infection in
men. Site-specific agreement for specific HPV genotypes
between clinician-collected and self-collected specimens
varied broadly and neither clinicians nor patients routinely
obtained samples with consistently higher or lower
prevalence at specific genital sites, indicating there are
continued opportunities to improve techniques for
clinician-collected and self-collected male specimens for
HPV.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is transmitted by
skin to skin and sexual contact and certain
genotypes are now understood to be the cause of
cervical cancer.1 Significant work has been done on
understanding the prevalence and natural history
of HPV in women2 and increasingly with men who
have sex with men (MSM) populations.3 However,
relatively little is known about HPV infections in
heterosexual men.4 5 One of main issues for studying HPV in heterosexual men remains the challenge of specimen collection.6–8 Data are evolving
regarding which genital sites in men should be
tested for HPV and how specimens should be
collected in order to determine the epidemiology of
HPV genital infections for the men themselves and
Sex Transm Infect 2009;85:221–225. doi:10.1136/sti.2008.033068
for transmission to sexual partners. Because HPV is
a virus that infects the epithelium, studies that
have been conducted on HPV in heterosexual men
rely on epidermal debriding followed by specimen
collection by a saline-moistened Dacron swab.9
However, because men are often reluctant to
participate in testing for sexually transmitted
infections (STIs), and may find epidermal debriding unappealing, self-sampling presents an important option to increase uptake of testing both in
clinical and research settings. In this study, we
assessed the accuracy of self-collected HPV specimens in men compared with clinician-collected
specimens and determined the prevalence of HPV
subtypes at different male genital sites from
heterosexual men in British Columbia.
METHODS
Men who reported never having sex with another
man and who presented for STI screening at the
Provincial STI Clinic at the British Columbia
Centre for Disease Control in Vancouver,
Canada, were invited to participate in this study.
After providing informed consent, participants were
administered a structured questionnaire by an
experienced, trained healthcare provider to assess
sexual history, risk factors for STIs, sociodemographic variables and self-reported history of STIs,
including human papillomavirus, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoea and herpes simplex virus.
Study participants received honoraria of $CAN15.
Specimen collection
All participants self-collected their specimens and
underwent clinician-collected specimen testing.
Participants were randomly assigned to conduct
self-collection or clinician-collected specimens first
and to obtain their self-collected specimen from
one of three sites. Clinical staff obtained specimen
staff obtained specimens using emery paper followed by a saline-moistened Dacron swab from
three genitourinary sites: glans penis/foreskin,
penile shaft (ventral and dorsal surfaces) and
scrotum.9 Participants received written instructions and took specimens from one of the three
sites using the same technique as clinicians.
Laboratory analysis
Both the emery paper and the swab from each
sampling site were placed together into a sample
transport tube containing 1 ml of specimen transport medium (Digene Corporation, Gaithersburg,
Maryland, USA), which was stored at room
temperature (18–30uC) for no more than 48 hours
until delivered to the laboratory. HPV testing was
performed with the Roche Amplicor HPV test
221
Health Services Research
(Roche, Canada) following the manufacturer’s instructions. All
samples found to be reactive with the Amplicor micro-well plate
assay were subsequently tested with the Roche Linear Array
HPV typing assay to establish the HPV genotype(s) in the
sample. Both the Amplicor and Linear Array tests include a
b-globin control to assess sample adequacy. Specimens testing
negative for b-globin were considered to be inadequate and were
not included in the analysis.
Statistical analysis
Demographic characteristics, sexual history and sexual practices
from the study participants were determined. Rates of sample
adequacy were compared between clinician-collected and selfcollected specimens. Prevalence of HPV overall and for different
genotypes and at different genital sites was determined. Overall
prevalence rates were compared between study participants
where clinicians collected specimens first and participants
collected specimens first using x2 statistics. Characteristics of
men who were positive for any HPV and for HPV-16 or HPV-18
were compared with men who were negative for HPV-16 or
HPV-18 using x2 statistics for categorical variables and
independent t test for continuous variables. Variables that
achieve p,0.05 were offered for inclusion in a multivariable
model to achieve a best-fit model. Backwards logistic regression
was conducted to calculate adjusted odds ratios (AORs) to
identify the factors that were predictive of overall HPV status
and HPV-16 or HPV-18 status. Concordance in genotypespecific HPV detection between self-collected and cliniciancollected specimens at different sites was determined using
Cohen’s k statistic. Analysis was performed using SPSS 14.0 for
Windows.
RESULTS
Over a 10-month period, 297 men were recruited and, overall,
88% (n = 262) of the specimens were deemed adequate as
confirmed by detection of b-globin in both the cliniciancollected and the self-collected specimens and were included
in the analysis. There was no difference in rates of specimen
adequacy between clinician-collected and self-collected specimens (86.9% vs 89.5%; p.0.05). Study participants ranged in
age from 16–69 years (median 29 years). Median age of first
intercourse was 17 years, with a median of 15 lifetime sexual
partners and 2 in the past 6 months. Just over a quarter of
participants reported condom use all the time, but over 50%
reported condom use during their last sexual encounter. Over
50% reported a history of some type of STI at some point in
their life (table 1).
Overall prevalence of any HPV genotype from any site was
69.8% in clinician-collected specimens and 55.3% in selfcollected specimens (table 2). Order of collection (clinician vs
self-collected) did not impact on the prevalence of HPV in the
specimens (65.9% vs 73.5%; p = 0.18). Prevalence of vaccine
preventable genotypes (HPV 6, 11, 16 or 18) and high risk types
(HPV 16, 18) in clinician-collected specimens was 35.1% and
24.0%, respectively, and 43.1% had evidence of infection with
more than one HPV subtype at any site. Overall prevalence of
HPV-16 was 18.7% and 8.4% for HPV-18. There was no
consistent pattern in overall detection as prevalence at some
sites was higher with clinician-collected specimens (penile shaft)
and others higher with the self-collected specimens (glans/
foreskin and scrotum). In bivariate analyses, individuals who
were HPV positive were significantly more likely to have had
their first sexual encounter at a younger age, have a higher

number of lifetime sexual partners, have a higher number of
sexual partners in the past 6 months, report never using
condoms and self-report having had a STI. In multivariable
modelling, individuals who were HPV positive were significantly more likely to have had their first sexual encounter at a
younger age, have a higher number of lifetime sexual partners
and were more likely to self-report having had a STI. Individuals
who were positive for either HPV-16 or HPV-18 were
significantly less likely to report that they always used a
condom with sexual partners (table 3). In multivariable
modelling, never having used a condom with partner in the
last 6 months was significantly associated with HPV-16 or HPV18 infection compared with those who always used a condom.
Correlation of type-specific HPV detection at the three
different genital sites was evaluated between the clinician and
self-collected specimens. The k scores for agreement between
clinician-collected and self-collected specimens ranged from fair
to excellent (table 4). The best agreement was found for HPV-18
in the shaft (k = 0.92) and the poorest agreement was found for
HPV-16 for the glans/foreskin (k = 0.36). Overall, there was
better agreement between clinician-collected and self-collected
specimens for HPV-18 (k = 0.88 t 0.92) than for HPV-16
(k = 036 to 0.62).
DISCUSSION
In this study of heterosexual men recruited at a provincial STI
clinic, over 60% were HPV positive and almost a third were
positive for HPV types contained in the quadrivalent HPV
vaccine. In the self-collected specimens, where participants
sampled only one site, overall prevalence was 55.3%. Using the
emery paper and swab system, men were able to self-collect
specimens from the glans/foreskin, penile shaft and scrotum for
HPV and were able to provide adequate specimens based on
b-globin detection. Order of specimen collection (clinician or
self) did not appear to impact on the detection of HPV,
indicating that self-collected specimen methods are not influenced by either viewing the nurse collect the specimen or by
nurses debriding the epithelium prior to patient collection.
However, site-specific agreement for specific HPV subtypes
between clinicians and patients varied broadly and neither
clinicians nor patients routinely obtained samples with consistently higher or lower prevalence at specific genital sites,
indicating there are continued opportunities to improve
techniques for male self-collected specimens for HPV, including
overall acceptability of the method and development of
improved sampling tools.
The overall prevalence for any HPV found in this study
(69.8%) was higher than rates found in other studies where
both younger men were included10 and in studies where men
aged between 18 and 44 years were included.11 In studies that
included glans/foreskin, penile shaft and scrotum, using similar
specimen collection techniques, prevalence for any HPV
infection ranged from 35%,9 to just over 40%12 to almost
60%.6 In this study, only 20% of participants were under the age
of 25 years compared with 49.9% in Nielson’s study.7 In another
study on HPV prevalence in men, where overall prevalence was
33.8%, the mean age of participants was 20.3 years compared
with 32.0 years in this current study.13 Thus, given recent
findings by Partridge, which showed the cumulative incidence
of new HPV infections in men at 62.4%,14 our prevalence
findings of 69.8% are not unexpected. We recruited men at the
provincial STI clinic who were older than those recruited in
other studies and who reported a high number of lifetime
partners; thus, increasing their exposure to HPV than other
studies of university students, the military or community based
samples.
The reason for the difference in the level of agreement
between self-collected and clinician-collected HPV genotypes is
unclear and warrants further examination. Certainly, it has
been established that there is variation in the duration of
infection with different HPV genotypes in women as well as
differing characteristics in terms of clearance rates for prevalent
versus incident infections.15 Perhaps the level of integration into
the epithelium or viral load in prevalent compared with incident
infections impacted on the level of agreement for HPV-16.
Further research on the characteristics and natural history of
type-specific HPV infection in men will likely offer important
insight into the potential reason for the variation in agreement
between HPV genotypes.
Genital HPV infection is common and infects the genital
region broadly. Similar to the studies by Nielson7 and
Partridge,14 HPV prevalence for any type was highest on the
penile shaft, then for the glans/foreskin and lowest in the
scrotum, although this difference did not achieve statistical

glans/foreskin, shaft and scrotum were 18.7%, 12.6%, 13.7%
and 10.7%, respectively, in this study compared with 11.4%,
9.1%, 4.1% and 5.0% in Nielson’s study.7 This study indicates
the high prevalence of vaccine-preventable HPV carriage in
heterosexual men and, therefore, the possible benefit of the
HPV vaccine for men to reduce the risk for HPV-associated
penile carcinomas5 and to reduce HPV transmission to women.
There is a clear need for continued study to establish the clinical
efficacy of the HPV vaccine in heterosexual men and to consider
the role of HPV vaccination in young men.16
