Detection of papillomavirus DNA in human semen

RS Ostrow, KR Zachow, M Niimura, T Okagaki, S Muller, M Bender, and AJ Faras

Human papillomavirus DNA has been detected in the semen of three patients, two of whom have severe chronic wart disease. These data support the contention that sexual transmission of human papillomavirus DNA could occur via semen, a possibility suggested by epidemiological data on the sexual transmission of human papillomavirus.
