It is well recognised that high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are spread by sexual activity, but the possibility of non-sexual transmission remains controversial. We present evidence for vertical transmission from at least 30% HPV positive mothers to their infants, resulting in persistent infec

## Abstract ## Background Human papillomavirus (HPV), a cause of oropharyngeal carcinoma, has also been implicated as an etiologic agent in nasopharyngeal carcinomas. ## Methods We performed p16 immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization for EpsteinβBarr virus (EBV) and HPV on 45 carcinomas
The Medline-indexed literature on risk factors for HPV infection and HPV transmission is critically reviewed. Principles for assay validation and interpretation, reliability of different study designs and principles for interpretation of conflicting reports are discussed. The conclusions arrived at
## Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate an association between certain human papillomavirus (HPV) types and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. Sexually active females (nβ=β487; 19β61 years old) were enrolled in the study. Subjects underwent Pap testing and evaluations of HI
## Abstract Persisting human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a critical step in cervical carcinogenesis. This study was conducted to determine the typeβspecific HPV persistence and risk factors for persistence of highβrisk HPV infections in a large cohort of Danish women. The study was based on a
Infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV), is the most significant risk factor for cervical cancer and it may be possible to prevent this malignancy by immunisation. Before immunisation programmes can be designed, however, it is necessary to know the age of acquisition and all routes of
