I have cervical dysplasia. I have two doctors, neither of which have tested me for HPV, but I can only assume that I have this. I have a new boyfriend after being with another man for 5 years. I know, absolutely, that I have passed this to him, despite the precautions we have taken. But my question is this: what are the reprecussions for men? Can they develop a kind of dysplasia, or is this just a condition found in women?

Hi,
I have dysplasia as well. There are no reprecussions for men, they are just carriers of this type of HPV (high-risk) 16 or 18. This type does not cause warts and the only symptom is cervical dysplasia/cancer in women. If he does have it though, he can pass it on to any other female partners he is with. I hope this helps.

He may develop warts. In rare cases, penile cancer. If you need to know, ask your doctor for an HPV test. You will get a Genital Warts draw and in a few days should know.
