Investigators are recruiting 3,000 healthy men, ages 18 to 44, in the United States, Mexico, and Brazil to determine men's roles in spreading human papillomavirus (HPV), the sexually transmitted organism linked to cervical cancer in women.
* At least half of all sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives, according to public health estimates; however, many who are infected are unaware of it, because the virus lives in the skin or mucous membranes and usually causes no symptoms.
* HPV causes more than 90% of cervical cancer in the United States. About 10,370 cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2005.
