5、ies,or,rarely,cervical cancer.3 The Pap test is useful in early detection of cervical cancer,one of the possible outcomes of an HPV infection.Early detection and treatment of pre-cancerous lesions can prevent development of cervical cancer.4What is HPV?Papillomaviruses are DNA tumor viruses that are
6、 widely distributed throughout animal species;these viruses are species-specifi c.The papillomavirus that infects humans is called human papillomavirus,or HPV.HPV commonly causes epithelial proliferations at cutaneous and mucosal surfaces.Types of HPVThere are more than 100 different types of HPV.Th
7、ey differ in terms of the types of epithelium they infect.Some infect cutaneous sites,whereas others infect mucosal surfaces.Over 40 types infect mucosal surfaces,including the anogenital epithelium(e.g.,cervix,vagina,vulva,rectum,urethra,penis,and anus).For most of these HPV types,there are suffi c
8、ient data to divide them into“high-risk”(e.g.,oncogenic or cancer-associated)types and“low-risk”(e.g.,non-oncogenic)types(see Table 1 on page 2).How Common is HPV?Approximately 20 million Americans 15 to 49 years of age(approximately 15%of the population)are currently infected with HPV.5 Others may
9、have been infected in the past and may no longer have the virus.About half of those who are infected with HPV are sexually active adolescents and young adults 15 to 24 years of age.5 Between 5%and 30%of individuals infected with HPV are infected with multiple types of HPV.6HPV InfectionDec3ion 1/Een
10、i3$l!0 1n2ec3ion2 Each year,about 6.2 million people in the U.S.become newly infected.1 Estimates for the incidence and prevalence of genital warts caused by low-risk types of HPV are imprecise.About 1%of sexually active adults have visible genital warts at any point in time.7Table 1:Types of HPVHig
11、h-risk(oncogenic or cancer-associated)types Low-risk(non-oncogenic)types Common types:16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,68,82Common types:6,11,40,42,43,44,54,61,72,73,81These are considered high-risk because they can be found in association with invasive cancers of the cervix,vulva,penis,or anus(a
12、s well as other sites).HPV 16 is the most common high-risk type,found in almost half of all cervical cancers.It is also one of the most common types found in women without cancer.8 HPV 18 is another common high-risk virus,found not only in squamous lesions but also in glandular lesions of the cervix
13、.HPV 18 accounts for 10%to 12%of cervical cancers.8All of the other high-risk types can be associated with cervical cancer,but much less frequently than HPV 16 and 18.HPV types 31,33,45,52,and 58 each account for between 2%to 4%of cancers.Each of the other high-risk types account for 1%or less of ca
14、ncers.9These can cause benign or low-grade cervical cell changes and genital warts but are rarely,if ever,found in association with invasive cancers.HPV 6 and HPV 11 are the low-risk viruses that are most commonly found in genital warts.83!ow i.Eeni3$l!0 7-$n.mi33edCHPV is usually transmitted throug
15、h direct skin-to-skin contact,most often during penetrative genital contact(vaginal or anal sex).Other types of genital contact in the absence of penetration(oral-genital,manual-genital,and genital-genital contact)can lead to HPV infection,but those routes of transmission are much less common than s
16、exual intercourse.13 Genital HPV infections are uncommon in women reporting no previous sexual intercourse,appearing in less than 2%of this population.13,14,15Sexual behavior is the most constant predictor of acquiring infection.Most importantly,the number of sex partners is proportionately linked t
17、o the risk of HPV infection.10,11,13Having sex with a new partner may be a stronger risk factor for initial HPV acquisition than having sex with a steady partner.13,16For women,the sexual activity of their partner(s)is also important for determining risk of HPV acquisition.For adolescent females and
18、 college students,the risk of acquiring HPV is increased if a womans partner has had or currently has other partners.16HPV infections are also common in men who have sex with men(MSM)and women who have sex with women.17 HPV DNA can be detected in swabs from the anal canal in over 50%of MSM.18HPV inf
19、ection can be detected on inanimate objects,such as clothing or environmental surfaces.However,transmission is not known to occur by this route.19,20Table 2:Factors Strongly Associated with Acquisition of HPV Infection in Women2,10,11,12A number of prospective studies conducted primarily in young wo

22、longer than infection with other HPV types,but most HPV 16 infections become undetectable within two years.10The gradual development of an effective immune response is thought to be the likely mechanism for HPV DNA clearance.4 However,it is also possible that the virus remains in a non-detectable do

31、istence as well as progression to cervical cancer.The single most important factor associated with invasive cervical cancer is the factor of never or rarely being screened for cervical cancer.The National Institutes of Health(NIH)estimates that half of the women who receive cervical cancer diagnoses
32、 have never been screened for cervical cancer and that an additional 10%have not been screened in the previous fi ve years.4 Immunosuppression from any cause,including HIV infection,is recognized to increase HPV persistence and to be associated with increased risk of invasive cervical cancer.22,26 C
33、igarette smoking has been associated with HPV persistence and risk of cervical cancer.Multiple case-control studies show a moderate and statistically signifi cant association between smoking and cervical cancer,even after adjusting for the effects of HPV.27Other epidemiologic factors associated with
34、 risk of cervical cancer include long-term use of oral contraceptives,27 co-infections such as Chlamydia,28 parity,and nutritional factors.29,30,31,32 However,in populations that are screened regularly,as is typical in the U.S.,cervical cancer develops rarely in women,even with persistent HPV infect
35、ion.This is because women with high-grade precursor lesions are usually identifi ed through cytologic screening,and the development of cancer can be prevented through early detection and treatment.770 years with 3 recent,consecutive negative tests&no abnormal tests in prior 10 years*Post total hyste
