摘要
Our goal was to describe prevalence of P-HPVs at three anatomic sites among 717 men from Brazil, Mexico and US enrolled in the HPV Infection in Men (HIM) Study. beta-HPVs were genotyped using Luminex technology. Overall, 77.7%, 543% and 293% men were positive for any (beta-HPV at the genitals, anal canal, and oral cavity, respectively. Men from US and Brazil were significantly less likely to have beta-HPV at the anal canal than men from Mexico. Older men were more likely to have (beta-HPV at the anal canal compared to younger men. Prevalence of beta-HPV at the oral cavity was significantly associated with country of origin and age. Current smokers were significantly less likely to have beta-HPV in the oral cavity than men who never smoked. Lack of associations between beta-HPV and sexual behaviors may suggest other routes of contact such as autoinoculation which need to be explored further.
