HPV prevalence in the foreskins of asymptomatic healthy infants and children: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract The true HPV prevalence in the foreskins of infants and children has been little documented, but reporting on this prevalence is of great importance given its impact on the rationale for treating asymptomatic boys. We searched multiple databases from 1960 to 2016 for observational or prospe...
