Introduction
Human papillomavirus infection (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections and can cause penile and anal cancer in men, and invasive cervical cancer in women.
Objective
To evaulate the colonization of 32 HPV subtypes in the foreskin of boys.

Conclusion
The results of the present study have shown that foreskin tissue is not a natural reservoir for HPV and subclinical HPV infection is not likely in the absence of suspected sexual contact.

So ein Pech aber auch!

Ich kann mir die Enttäuschung der Autoren lebhaft vorstellen.

Hach, et wäre doch so schön gewesen!
