“…The question remains whether BV and cervical HPV infection are simply related because there is a biologic interaction between them, or they are the expression of the promiscuity of women and their partners. The study of Mao et al [18] confirmed the positive correlation between BV and HPV infection and also reported that BV was found to occur simultaneously with or after HPV infection, rather than ante-dating acquisition of HPV. These results suggest that cervical HPV infection may favor changes in the vaginal milieu that enhance development of BV.…”

“…Here, using unbiased metagenomic sequencing we observed that alpha-papillomaviruses, which include the known oncogenic papillomavirus types, were more common in women with a bacterial community characterized by a decrease in Lactobacillus and an increase in anaerobic bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis, such as Gardnerella [16]. This is consistent with other studies that show that persistent papillomavirus infection is associated with an increase in anaerobic bacteria [33,34]. Whether either member of this viral-bacterial correlate is causative, or whether each is simply present as a result of simultaneous exposure remains to be determined.…”

“…There is no data within published literature to indicate that HPV infection affects the growth of G. vaginalis in vaginal flora. Some studies do, however, report a higher incidence of infection with G. vaginalis (Murta et al, 2000;Mao et al, 2003;Lippman et al, 2010) and Candida spp (Nogueres et al, 2010) when HPV infection is present.…”
