Purpose: to evaluate risk factors and papillomavirus (HPV) associated lesions in male partners of women with genital intraepithelial neoplasia. Patients and Methods: three hundred and thirty-seven men were evaluated by urethral cytology, peniscopy, and biopsy, if necessary. We analyzed the results and the relations to age, educational level, smoking, contact time with the present partner, age at first intercourse, number of partners, previous sexually transmitted diseases (STD), circumcision, peniscopic findings, and female lesion grade. Results: peniscopy was positive in 144 (42,7%) and HPV infection was diagnosed in 105 (31,2%). Smoking, contact time with the present partner up to 6 months, and more than one previous sexual partner were associated with HPV lesions (p<0,05). The urethral cytology was suspect in 4,2% and smoking, positive peniscopy or biopsy and partners of women with high-grade lesion (p<0,05) were associated with the diagnosis. 72.1% of 229 biopsies were positive, independently of the peniscopic findings and women's lesion grade. Conclusions: HPV infection was diagnosed in 31.2% and was associated with smoking, contact time with the present partner up to 6 months and more than one previous sexual partner, but not with the female lesion grade, educationa level, previous STD, circumcision and peniscopic findings.

PURPOSE: to determine the prevalence of koilocytosis in penile biopsies of partners of women with HPV-induced genital lesions, and to analyze the risk factors associated with the penile viral infection. METHODS: a total of 80 partners of HPV-infected women with genital lesions were included in this transversal cohort study. The study was carried out between May 2002 and June 2003. The mean age was 34.1 years (16 to 63). No patient reported any kind of genital lesion. They answered questions regarding the presence of urethral symptoms, history of sexually transmitted diseases, number of sexual partners, use of condoms, and circumcision. The patients were submitted to peniscopy with acetic acid and toluidine blue solutions and finally to biopsy of the suspected lesions. Data were analyzed statistically by the chi2 test. RESULTS: the examination was considered negative in 24 patients (30%). All remaining 56 patients (70%) showed white lesions and toluidine blue-positive lesions. Of these, 53 were submitted to biopsy and 41 (77.3%) presented histological changes suggestive of HPV infection. CONCLUSIONS: the prevalence of the male genital infection was 51.2% and no risk factor analyzed was associated with an increased prevalence of HPV genital infection.

Purpose: to study the association between the evaluation or not of the male partner and relapses in women treated for HPV lesions. Methods: a reconstituted cohort study with 144 women with HPV lesions and whose partners had been evaluated, compared with 288 women whose partners had not been examined, controlled regarding date of attendance, age, lesion degree and treatment, attended between July 1993 and March 2000. We evaluated similarity between the groups, the association between the evaluation or not of the partners or the diagnosis of lesions with the occurrence and relapse lesion degree in the women and the disease-free interval (DFI). Results: the groups were similar regarding the control variables. Relapses occurred in 9.0 % of the women whose partners had been evaluated and in 5.9% of those whose partners had not been evaluated (p=0.23). When lesions were diagnosed in the men, 12.5% of their partners had relapses, against 7.3% of the women whose partners had no lesions (p=0.23), but there was no correlation with the relapse lesion degree and DFI. When the men reported a time of monogamous conjugal relationship <12 months, we observed 14.9% relapses in women, against 6.2% for the women whose partners reported a longer time (p=0.08). Conclusions: evaluation of the man did not decrease the relapse risk of HPV lesions in his partner. The presence of lesions in the male partners did not correlate with the occurrence and relapse degree in women and DFI. This study does not support the hypothesis that nonevaluated men would be an important cause of relapses in their partners.
