Human Papillomavirus Infection and Prevention In The Adolescent
- HPV infection of certain high-risk oncotypes with viral persistence is thought to be necessary for development of serious dysplasia and cancer. HPV can enter a latent state and be reactivated at a later time.
- The alarming rise in oropharyngeal cancers has been attributed to oncogenic HPV types previously only recognized for causing cervical cancer; adolescents who participate in noncoital sexual activity may be at higher risk than previously thought.
- The HPV vaccine has proven to be safe and effective, and the inclusion of nine serotypes of HPV in the latest vaccine provides the most coverage against oncogenic subtypes to date.
- Both boys and girls should be vaccinated against HPV at a target age of 11–12 years, but may receive the vaccination as early as 9 or as late as 26 years old. There is a revision of the vaccination schedule to require only two in the series if it is given prior to the age of 15.
- Large decreases in HPV infection have been seen in past 10 years after vaccination has been available.
