BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection and high-risk HPV types are a necessary cause for the development of cervical cancer. The present study investigated the HPV-type specific prevalence in 650 women, aged 15-76 years, with cytological abnormalities and the association between HPV infection and cervical disease in a subset of 160 wome...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been reported in 12-82% of penile squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). There is an association of the virus with basaloid and warty carcinomas but the reported prevalence is variable. The causes of these variations are not clear. They may be owing to geographic differences, the use of different techniques to detect HPV, the status of the original paraffin blocks, or to...

BACKGROUND Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) can co-exist in pharyngeal and cervical malignancies. However, the natural history and factors associated with persistent HPV infection among HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) are unclear. METHODS 131 HIV-infected MSM were followed for 48 weeks and screened for multiple co-infections, including seminal EBV DNA and h...

OBJECTIVE HIV-positive women are known to be at high-risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and its associated cervical pathology. Here, we describe the prevalence and distribution of HPV genotypes among HIV-positive and -negative women in South Africa, with and without cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). METHODS We report data on 1,371 HIV-positive women and 8,050 HIV-negative wo...

Background: Cervical carcinoma is the commonly known leading malignancy that has highest prevalence in developing countries. It shares second rank world of cancer. The 80% cases cervical cancer countries are reported. reported one woman die from this after every two minutes. Objective: To identify risk factors associated with (CC). role human papillomavirus (HPV) aetiology was also evaluated. S...

BACKGROUND Semen represents a reservoir for human papillomavirus (HPV), rising concern in couples eligible for assisted reproduction techniques (ART). Humoral immunity against HPV is considered to protect from reinfection. We investigated the impact of vaccination on virus clearance in a cohort of infertile male patients showing HPV semen infection. METHODS 179 out of 619 infertile patients, ...

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are at the origin of many mucosal, benign or malignant skin pathologies. Some so-called high-risk genotypes, especially types 16 and 18, involved in genesis cervical cancer, one most common cancers women. To determine prevalence HPV infections to identify oncogenic genotypes circulating departments Niari Bouenza. A total 207 samples collected between 2019 2020 were ...

We estimated the effect of sexual behavior, age, and immunodeficiency on the number of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) types in the anal canal among human immunodeficiency virus-positive men who have sex with men (MSM). Anal samples were genotyped with the Linear Array HPV Genotyping Test, and risk factors were investigated with Poisson regression. Of 586 MSM, 69% were Spanish, and 25.6...

Objectives: Data on the seroprevalence of Human papillomavirus (HPV) in Turkey are limited. The aim of this study was to characterize the high risk types of HPV in cervical cytology specimens of women in Turkey during routine cervical cancer screening. Methods: Women aged 30 years and older who had been admitted to Tepecik Education and Research Hospital in İzmir province for routine cervical c...

Baseline human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and type distribution were evaluated in young Chinese women enrolled in a clinical trial of an HPV vaccine (ClinicalTrials.gov registration NCT00779766). Cervical specimens and blood samples were collected at baseline from women aged 18-25 years (n = 6,051) from four sites across Jiangsu province. Cervical specimens were tested for HPV DNA by SPF10...
