The World Health Organization (WHO) as well as public health officials in Australia, Canada, Europe, and the United States recommend vaccination of young women against HPV to prevent cervical cancer, and to reduce the number of treatments for cervical cancer precursors. The death rate from cervical cancer in the United States is 3 per 100,000 and in 2011, about 12,000 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4,000 died. In 2009, there were about 34,000 deaths from car accidents in the U.S. for a death rate of 11 per 100,000. HPV infection is extremely common; most sexually active people will be infected with HPV at some point in life. HPV infection usually causes no symptoms, but can cause genital warts and anal cancer in both women and men. The HPV vaccine prevents infection by the HPV types responsible for most cervical cancers. There are two available forms of the HPV vaccine: Cervarix; prevents infection by HPV-16 and HPV-18 and Gardasil; prevents infection by HPV-16, HPV-18, and also HPV-6 and HPV-11. There are many side events may caused by HPV vaccines such as; seizures, fatigue, strokes, dizziness, weakness, headaches, stomach pains, vomiting, muscle pain and weakness, joint pain, auto-immune problems, chest pains, hair loss, appetite loss, shortness of breath, heart problems, personality changes, insomnia, hand/leg tremors, arm/leg weakness, paralysis, itching, rashes, swelling, aching muscles, pelvic pain, nerve pain, menstrual cycle changes, fainting, swollen lymph nodes, night sweats, nausea, temporary vision/hearing loss. This topic review focused mainly on the side effects and health serious problems with Gardasil vaccine.

Abstract Background Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States, with an annual incidence rate of approximately 14 million people. The HPV vaccine has been demonstrated to be highly effective in the prevention of HPV infection and HPV-associated diseases. This study aims to evaluate the impact of HPV vaccine on the prevalence of HPV infection in the United States and evaluate the trends of disease prevalence pre- and post-HPV vaccine implementation. Methods We conducted a secondary data analysis of the National Health and Education Survey (NHANES) for trends in HPV infection from 2003 to 2016. The analysis was grouped into a pre-HPV vaccine implementation (2003–2006) cohort including 4064 females, aged 18–59 years; and a post-HPV vaccine implementation (2007–2016) cohort which included 10718 females, aged 18–59 years. Further analysis of HPV infection prevalence, pre- and post-HPV vaccine implementation, stratified by sociodemographic characteristics were conducted. Results The prevalence of HPV infection prior to HPV vaccine implementation was 43.98% (95 CI 42.71%–46.58%) compared with 40.55% (95 C.I 40.55%–40.56%) in the post-HPV vaccine implementation era. Among females with HPV infections in the post-HPV vaccine implementation cohort 82.6 (95% CI 80.41%–83.42%) were unvaccinated. In both cohorts, black females had a significantly higher prevalence of HPV with a prevalence rate of 18.56% (95% CI 18.23%–20.56%) in the pre-HPV vaccine implementation cohort, and 15.61% (95% CI 14.82 – 19.4%) in the post-HPV vaccine implementation cohort. Females with less than high school education had a higher prevalence of HPV in the pre and post- HPV vaccine implementation cohorts with prevalence rates of 25.77% (95% CI 23.44%–28.72%) and 24.96% (95% CI 23.41%–25.67%), respectively. Conclusion The results suggest that HPV infection prevalence has declined since the implementation of HPV vaccine to US national immunization program. Our findings highlight disparities in HPV infection prevalence by race and educational status, and these patterns are in keeping with HPV-associated disease such as warts and HPV-associated cancers.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is considered a necessary causative agent for developing oropharyngeal, anal and cervical cancer. Among women in Ecuadorian population, cervical cancer ranks as the second most common gynecological cancer. Not many studies about HPV burden have been published in Ecuador, and genotypes distribution has not been established yet. The little data available suggest the presence of other genotypes different than 16 and 18. Objectives: In the present study, we attempt to estimate the prevalence of HPV 16, HPV 18 and other 35 genotypes among Ecuadorian women undergoing cervical cancer screening. The overall prevalence of HPV infection was also estimated. Methods: Routine cervical samples were analyzed using Linear Array(r) HPV Genotyping test (Roche). Results: A total of 1,581 cervical samples obtained from Ecuadorian women undergoing cervical cancer screening were included in this study. HPV DNA was detected in 689 cervical samples (43.58%). Of these samples, 604 (38.20%) were positive for a single HPV genotype, while another 85 (5.37%) samples were positive for multiple HPV types. Genotype 16 (5.50%) resulted in the most frequently detected type in both single and multiple infections. HPV 33 (4.55%) and HPV 11 (3.80%) occupied the second and the third place in frequency among all detected genotypes. Conclusions: Viral genotypes different from HPV 16 and HPV 18 are frequently detected among Ecuadorian women. The overall prevalence of HPV resulted higher than the one reported in other South American countries with a greater burden in the second and third decades of life.

Intoduction: Gynecological malignancies are one of the most common cancers in women and have high mortality rates in the United States. In this study, we aimed to analyze the incidence and mortality rates of gynecological malignancies in 2011-2015 and compare these data with the corresponding parameters of 2001-2005. We chose these intervals of years for contrasting, as HPV vaccines have been actively used since 2006. HPV vaccine is known to prevent cervical cancer but has unknown impact on other gynecological malignancies. The aim of the is study is to check if incidence and survival of gynecological malignancies has changed before and after application of HPV vaccine Material and Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) cancer registry 2005-2011 and 2011-2015 database was investigated and patients with gynecological malignancy were identified. Data were obtained using SEER*Stat version 8.3.5. A statistical analysis on the incidence rate and mortality rate was performed. Data were exported using case-listing session in SEER*Stat and were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Results: Overall 125,357 cases with a gynecological malignancy were identified in 2011-2015 in comparison with 102,534 cases in the period of 2001-2005. The incidence of cervical cancer decreased in the period of 2011-2015 compared with the period from 2001 to 2005 (median incidence rates 3.9 and 4.3 per 100.000 persons, respectively, p < 0.05), while incidence of uterine (15.3 and 12.0 per 100.000 persons persons, respectively) and vulvar (1.55 and 1.86 per 100.000 persons, respectively) has increased ( p < 0.05). There was no change in the incidence rate of ovarian cancer (7.28 and 7.19 per 100.000 persons). Survival rates for cervix, uterine, ovarian and vulva cancer have increased. However, zero time error couldn’t be avoided in statistical analysis. Conclusion: As a result of widespread screening with Pap smear test and availability of human papilloma virus vaccine the incidence of cervix cancer has declined. Increase in vulvar and uterine cancer incidence may be attributed to lack of effective screening program for early detection of these type of cancers and most probably HPV vaccine has no effect on their incidence. Survival of gynecological malignancies has increased over years which may be explained by better treatment options or earlier detection.

Purpose The incidence of human papilloma virus (HPV)–positive oropharyngeal cancers has risen rapidly in recent decades among men in the United States. We investigated the US population–level effect of prophylactic HPV vaccination on the burden of oral HPV infection, the principal cause of HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study of men and women 18 to 33 years of age (N = 2,627) within the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011 to 2014, a representative sample of the US population. Oral HPV infection with vaccine types 16, 18, 6, or 11 was compared by HPV vaccination status, as measured by self-reported receipt of at least one dose of the HPV vaccine. Analyses accounted for the complex sampling design and were adjusted for age, sex, and race. Statistical significance was assessed using a quasi-score test. Results Between 2011 and 2014, 18.3% of the US population 18 to 33 years of age reported receipt of at least one dose of the HPV vaccine before the age of 26 years (29.2% in women and 6.9% in men; P < .001). The prevalence of oral HPV16/18/6/11 infections was significantly reduced in vaccinated versus unvaccinated individuals (0.11% v 1.61%; Padj = .008), corresponding to an estimated 88.2% (95% CI, 5.7% to 98.5%) reduction in prevalence after model adjustment for age, sex, and race. Notably, the prevalence of oral HPV16/18/6/11 infections was significantly reduced in vaccinated versus unvaccinated men (0.0% v 2.13%; Padj = .007). Accounting for vaccine uptake, the population-level effect of HPV vaccination on the burden of oral HPV16/18/6/11 infections was 17.0% overall, 25.0% in women, and 6.9% in men. Conclusion HPV vaccination was associated with reduction in vaccine-type oral HPV prevalence among young US adults. However, because of low vaccine uptake, the population-level effect was modest overall and particularly low in men.

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the overall and type-specific prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among females living in riverside communities in the state of Pará, in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon. These communities are inhabited by low-income people, and are accessible only by small boats. Cervical cytology and risk factors for HPV infection were also assessed. Methods Cervical samples from 353 women of selected communities were collected both for Papanicolau (Pap) test and HPV detection. Conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR were used to assess the overall and type-specific prevalence of HPV-16 and HPV-18, the main oncogenic types worldwide. Epidemiological questionnaires were used for the assessment of the risk factors for HPV infection. Results The mean age of the participants was 37 years (standard deviation [SD] ± 13.7). Most were married or with a fixed sexual partner (79%), and had a low educational level (80%) and family monthly income (< U$ 250; 53%). Overall, HPV prevalence was 16.4% (n = 58), with 8 cases of HPV-16 (2.3%) and 5 of HPV-18 (1.4%). Almost 70% of the women surveyed had never undergone the Pap test. Abnormal cytology results were found in 27.5% (n = 97) of the samples, with higher rates of HPV infection according to the severity of the lesions (p = 0.026). Conclusions The infections by HPV-16 and HPV-18 were not predominant in our study, despite the high prevalence of overall HPV infection. Nevertheless, the oncogenic potential of these types and the low coverage of the Pap test among women from riverside communities demonstrate a potential risk for the development of cervical lesions and their progression to cervical cancer, since the access to these communities is difficult and, in most cases, these women do not have access to primary care and public health services.

e17522 Background: Cervical cancer [CC] incidence in the United States has decreased over the last thirty years in black and white Americans, however it is recognized that black women [BW] have higher incidence and mortality rates than white women [WW]. We evaluated race-specific incidence of CC, mortality rates of CC, and HPV vaccine usage rates in Louisiana [LA] during the last decade, the state with the second highest proportion of black Americans in the United States [US]. Methods: Data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries were analyzed for trends in incidence and mortality rate [MR] in BW and WW in LA and the US. SEER 13 and SEER 18 data were used and standardized to the 2000 US population to estimate annual age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates. Results: The incidence of CC in WW in LA was 8.2 per 100,000 from 2006 to 2009, and 7.9 per 100,000 in WW in US. The incidence in BW in LA was 13.3 per 100,000, as compared to the US at 9.7 per 100,000, a 36% higher incidence in BW. The MR in WW in LA and the US was 2.4 and 2.2 per 100,000. The MR for BW in LA was 5.8 per 100,000 and the US was 4.3 per 100,000, a 37% higher incidence in BW. WW in LA and the US showed a peak in incidence between the ages of 35 and 45 from 2006 to 2009. The incidence in BW in LA peaked at 37.1 per 100,000 at age 85 and the incidence in BW in the US peaked at 25.6 per 100,000 at age 85. HPV vaccination rates for LA females ages 13-15 in 2008 and 2009 were 16.1% and 35.4%. Conclusions: BW in LA were twice as likely to be diagnosed with CC than WW with a higher MR. Though the incidence rate of CC is decreasing in WW and BW in the US and in WW in LA, it is increasing in BW in LA and continues to trend up throughout life in BW compared to WW. The high incidence of CC in BW in LA highlights the need to improve utilization of the HPV vaccine. A screening and treatment program targeting CC was implemented within the last decade in the LA public hospital system with the goal of reducing CC incidence and mortality.

The natural history of cervical cancer is strongly related to the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, with its relationship with cervical cancer being a matter of concern. It is estimated that 70% of all cervical cancers worldwide are caused by HPV 16 and 18. Accordingly, the present study aimed to contribute to the identification of HPV subtypes circulating in a group of women of Manaus-Brazil.  Cervical samples were collected from 49 women, following the eligibility criteria of the study, and DNA was then extracted from the samples, which were analyzed for the presence of the virus in the genetic material through the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using generic primers (GP05/06). Finally, identification of the viral subtypes was performed using specific primers for the detection of the main subtypes already examined (16 and 18). Positive HPV DNA was detected in 100% of the samples included in the study. Human papillomavirus 16 was the most prevalent subtype in the majority of lesions, accounting for 29 (59.2%) of the positive cases, and HPV 18 was detected in four (8.2%) women. In these 4 cases there was co-infection, with the presence of both HPV 18 and HPV 16. Therefore, 40.8% (20 cases) in which HPV DNA was detected presented infection with other subtypes of HPV not included in the study. This data has clinical implications related to cervical cancer prevention, as the current prophylactic HPV vaccines are only effective against high-risk HPV 16 and 18 subtypes.
