- The Natural History of Genital Human Papillomavirus Among HIV-Negative Men Having Sex With Men and Men Having Sex With Women(2015) NYITRAY, Alan G.; CHANG, Mihyun; VILLA, Luisa L.; SILVA, Roberto J. Carvalho da; BAGGIO, Maria Luiza; ABRAHAMSEN, Martha; PAPENFUSS, Mary; QUITERIO, Manuel; SALMERON, Jorge; LAZCANO-PONCE, Eduardo; GIULIANO, Anna R.Background. Although human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative men having sex with men (MSM) bear a substantial burden of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated disease, prospective studies of genital HPV infection in this population are scarce. Methods. HPV genotyping was conducted on genital samples from men (aged 18-70 years) from Brazil, Mexico, or the United States who provided specimens at 6-month intervals for up to 4 years. Eligibility criteria included no history of genital warts or HIV infection. Evaluable specimens were collected from 564 MSM and 3029 men having sex with women (MSW). Incidence and clearance estimates with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Results. The 12-month cumulative incidence of genital HPV was high in both MSM (25%; 95% confidence interval, 21%-30%) and MSW (21%; 20%-23%). After stratifying by city, MSM and MSW incidence rates were comparable, with 3 exceptions where MSM had higher incidence in >= 1 city: the group of quadrivalent vaccine types, HPV-45, and HPV-11. Median times to HPV-16 clearance were also comparable, with point estimates of >6 months for both MSM and MSW. Conclusions. Unlike with many other sexually transmitted infections, genital HPV natural history may be similar in HIV-negative MSM and MSW. Study periods of <= 6 months, however, may not be long enough to accurately measure the persistence of these infections in men.
- Persistence and Clearance of HPV From the Penis of Men Infected and Non-Infected With HIV(2011) SILVA, R. J. C.; CASSEB, J.; ANDREOLI, M. A.; VILLA, L. L.Due to high rates of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the incidence of intraepithelial neoplasia and anal cancer, most studies concerning HPV in men seropositive for HIV have focused on the anal canal. Few studies have targeted the penile region in HIV-infected men. A total of 72 men seropositive for HIV and 72 men seronegative for HIV were followed-up for 6 months, and their penile exfoliated cells were tested for HPV DNA. There were no significant differences between the HIV-positive and HIV-negative men in persistence (respectively, 69.5% vs. 66.9%), clearance (respectively, 15.3% vs. 23.1%), and those men never infected with HPV during the four follow-up visits (15.2% for HIV-positive vs. 20% for HIV-negative). High-risk HPV types were detected more frequently in penile smears from men infected with HIV, while, in HIV-seronegative men, the low-risk HPV types were more abundant (P=0.001). Multiple infections with both high- and low-risk HPV types were significantly more frequent in HIV-seropositive compared to those who were HIV-seronegative (P=0.0004). The attendance rates at follow-up visits were 86%, 78%, and 58% in months 1, 2, and 6, respectively, for men infected with HIV and 93%, 72%, and 60% for the HIV-negative group. It is concluded that HIV infection can be considered a risk factor for clearance and persistence of HPV. Multiple infections with different types of HPV including high-risk HPVs are frequent in men who are infected with HIV. J. Med. Virol. 83:127-131, 2011. (C) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
- Human Papillomavirus Virus (HPV) Genotype-and Age-Specific Analyses of External Genital Lesions Among Men in the HPV Infection in Men (HIM) Study(2015) INGLES, Donna J.; CAMPBELL, Christine M. Pierce; MESSINA, Jane A.; STOLER, Mark H.; LIN, Hui-Yi; FULP, William J.; ABRAHAMSEN, Martha; SIRAK, Bradley A.; O'KEEFE, Michael T.; PAPENFUSS, Mary; GAGE, Christine; SILVA, Roberto Carvalho da; SOSA, Rossana Gonzalez; JUAREZ, Oscar Rojas; VILLA, Luisa L.; PONCE, Eduardo Lazcano; GIULIANO, Anna R.Background. Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes external genital lesions (EGLs) in men, including condyloma and penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN). We sought to determine the incidence of pathologically confirmed EGLs, by lesion type, among men in different age groups and to evaluate the HPV types that were associated with EGL development. Methods. HPV Infection in Men (HIM) study participants who contributed >= 2 visits from 2009-2013 were included in the biopsy cohort. Genotyping by an HPV line-probe assay was performed on all pathologically confirmed EGLs. Age-specific analyses were conducted for incident EGLs, with Kaplan-Meier estimation of cumulative incidence. Results. This biopsy cohort included 2754 men (median follow-up duration, 12.4 months [interquartile range, 6.9-19.2 months]). EGLs (n = 377) were pathologically confirmed in 228 men, 198 of whom had incident EGLs. The cumulative incidence of any EGL was highest among men <45 years old and, for condyloma, decreased significantly over time with age. The genotype-specific incidence of EGL varied by pathological diagnoses, with high-and low-risk genotypes found in 15.6% and 73.2% of EGLs, respectively. Condyloma primarily contained HPV 6 or 11. While PeIN lesions primarily contained HPV 16, 1 PeIN III lesion was positive for HPV 6 only. Conclusion. Low-and high-risk HPV genotypes contribute to the EGL burden. Men remain susceptible to HPV-related EGLs throughout the life span, making it necessary to ensure the longevity of immune protection against the most common causative HPV genotypes.
