Anogenital warts are a worldwide public health problem. They consist of epithelial proliferations caused by HPV, whose transmission occurs mainly through sexual intercourse. In this study, we evaluated their impact on the quality of life of adult males. We interviewed 88 men in an outpatient clinic for sexually transmitted diseases at a Brazilian public institution, using the DLQI-BRA questionnaire. Most patients (81%) presented mild or no impairment of quality of life. The main dimensions affected were sex life, symptoms, and embarrassment. The low impact on quality of life may well justify the delay in seeking medical treatment, favoring the spread of the disease.
肛门生殖器疣是一个全球性的公共卫生问题。它们由人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）引起的上皮增生组成，其传播主要通过性交发生。在本研究中，我们评估了它们对成年男性生活质量的影响。我们在巴西一家公共机构的性传播疾病门诊对88名男性进行了访谈，使用DLQI-BRA问卷。大多数患者（81%）生活质量轻度受损或未受损。受影响的主要方面是性生活、症状和尴尬。对生活质量的低影响很可能是延迟寻求医疗治疗的原因，这有利于疾病的传播。
