Attention, Men: Are You At Risk For Genital Warts?

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) causes genital warts. It is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease in sexually active men. The , virus often causes no symptoms, so most men may not know they have been infected. If the infection persists, genital warts may result. In rare cases, HPV infection may lead to penile and anal cancer.

Dr. Daron Ferris and his colleagues at the Medical College of Georgia are working with a leading pharmaceutical company to test the effectiveness of a vaccine designed to prevent certain types of HPV associated with genital warts and penile and anal cancer.

To qualify for this study, you must be:

•A healthy male age 16-23 with no history of genital warts

Qualified participants will be compensated for their time and will receive the following at no cost:

• Medical exams and tests related to the study. • Study vaccination

For more information, please call (706) 721-2535 or Call Toll Free (877) 643-1414
