ÖGK chief physician in the talk – HPV “is a really dangerous disease”

Vaccination is and remains the best protective measure
This means that both sexes can contract HPV. But can one still say that the man is often the so-called landlord? dr According to Krauter, both sexes, i.e. men and women, are carriers and transmitters of the virus. “So a woman can become infected through a man, but a man can also infect a woman”. Women get cervical cancer, but both sexes are at equal risk, and about 80 percent of the population will get HPV during their lifetime. “So both have the same risk of getting that and transferring that. Therefore, both should take the necessary protective measures. And that is and remains quite simply the vaccination – for men and for women,” as the doctor emphasizes.
