You don't know what you are taking about. HPV does infect men. But men don't have cervexes so they are not succeptible to cancer from the virus and that's why so many women have the virus. Men don't know they are carriers.

Men don't know they are carriers.This is mostly but not entirely true. Certainly men are carriers. Penile cancer, while rare, does occur and is also linked to HPV. Also, men who engage in anal intercourse are at high risk of cancer there due to HPV infection. Their risk is similar to women who don't get Pap smear screening.
