Human Papillomavirus Genotypes in Male Genitalia and Their Concordance among Pregnant Spouses Participating in the Finnish Family HPV Study

Asymptomatic HPV infections were common in both parents, while the genotype‐specific concordance among spouses was low. In both partners, HPV16 is the dominant genotype. HPV6 was a prevalent HPV genotype in male genitalia. Female risk profile might enhance the transmission of HPV infection to her male partner and increase the genotype‐specific HPV concordance between the spouses.
