Mycoplasma hominis colonizes the vagina of women and the urethra of men. The organism is also isolated from beneath the foreskin of uncircumcised men. It is sexually transmitted. M. hominis is isolated from a small proportion of children and sexually inexperienced adults. Among sexually experienced adults, rates of colonization rise in relation to the lifetime number of sexual partners. Even with sexual experience taken into account, the organism is more prevalent among young individuals and among blacks. The use of barrier methods of contraception (condom and diaphragm) reduces the likelihood of colonization with M. hominis.
人型支原体可定植于女性阴道和男性尿道。该病原体也可从未行包皮环切术男性的包皮下分离出来。它通过性传播。在一小部分儿童和无性经验的成年人中可分离出人型支原体。在有性经验的成年人中，定植率随着性伴侣的终生数量增加而上升。即使考虑到性经验，该病原体在年轻人和黑人中更为普遍。使用屏障避孕方法（避孕套和子宫帽）可降低人型支原体定植的可能性。
