Abstract: SUMMARYEpstein Barr Virus (EBV) is transmitted commonly by saliva, but it has been found in genital secretions, which suggests sexual transmission and led researchers to connect EBV and cervical neoplasia.

“…Anelloviruses are also frequent [5,9,10,11,12], while herpesvirus, polyomavirus, and adenovirus are usually detected in a small number of samples [1,5,7,13,14]. Among HIV-positive women, a similar diversity of viruses is found [4,9,15,16], except with a higher prevalence of papillomavirus infection [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25].…”
