There is a barrier to understanding the causes of infertility in couples timely due to asymptomatic picture of high risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) in men. Concerning to recent research, hrHPV capsids bind efficiently to two distinct sites at the equatorial region of the sperm head surface. The clinical case demonstrates the role of sperm sediment cytology in diagnostics of hrHPV that was confirmed by hrHPV screening test by nucleic acid amplification technique (NAAT) with polymerase chain reaction in real time (RT-PCR) (NAAT/ RT-PCR/hrHPV).
