Genital papilloma virus infection (GPVI) is in many patients a longlasting, relapsing disease for which no effective treatment is available. This fact and the association between the virus and cancer puts much stress on the afflicted patient. Of 41 men with GPVI interviewed, 17 (40%) reported a negative effect of the disease on their sexual life. Most distressing was the fear of transmitting the disease to their partner. After 18 months, 15 (37%) of the 41 men still exhibited signs of GPVI. In the care of patients with GPVI, more attention needs to be paid to the psychosexual effects of the disease.Downloads
