Incident detection of human papillomavirus – a prospective follow-up study among Tanzanian women with a focus on HIV status
2021, International Journal of Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :We found a higher HPV acquisition rate among younger women, which gradually declined with age. This finding confirms previous studies (Nielsen et al., 2009, Clifford et al., 2006, Ferris et al., 2020, Goodman et al., 2008) and may reflect both behavioural and biological factors. Young women may be exposed to HPV more often because of their sexual behaviour; however, the decreasing odds of HR-HPV among older women persisted after adjustment for number of partners in the multivariable analysis, so this may not be the sole explanation.

2019, Human Papillomavirus: Proving and Using a Viral Cause for CancerPrevalence and concordance of high-risk papillomavirus infection in male sexual partners of women diagnosed with high grade cervical lesions
2017, Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiologia ClinicaCitation Excerpt :Epidemiological studies show that high-risk (HR) HPV infection is necessarily the sexual transmitted cause of invasive cervical cancer and its precursor lesion, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).5 There are no consistent data on the natural history of HPV in the male population even though these viruses are prevalent in males.6 Bosch et al.7 assessed the contribution of the males’ genital HPV DNA status to the risk of development cervical neoplasia in their sexual partners, confirming their hypothesis that men could be vectors of HPV types typically found in cervical cancer.
