Who is at risk of Bowenoid papulosis and how is it spread?
Sexually active people may be at risk of getting Bowenoid papulosis. As in genital warts, HPV transmission is most often passed through direct skin-to-skin sexual contact. So partners of patients with BP should be screened for other forms of intraepithelial neoplasia (cervical, penile, vulvar and anal). Men and women are equally at risk and the peak incidence is in sexually active persons under 30 years of age.
