Prevalence of oral human papillomavirus infections by race in the United States: An association with sexual behavior
Oral Diseases Mar 26, 2020
Choi JS, Tang L, Yu AJ, et al. - Researchers explored how oral HPV infection and sexual behaviors differ by race in the US via analyzing data from the 2011–2014 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey during which oral rinse exam was performed on participants aged 18–69 years for HPV detection (n = 8,229). Overall oral HPV infection and HPV type16 infection were prevalent in 7.5% and 1.1%, respectively. In this nationally representative sample of US adults, they observed higher prevalence of overall oral HPV infections among Blacks and lower among Asians in comparison with Whites. Further analysis with sexual behavior data indicated that different sexual behaviors may explain the racial differences in prevalence.
