“…In other countries, high detection rates of HPV among patients visiting STD clinics have been reported. Horn et al 11 and Figueroa et al le reported detection rates of 12% and 28.7%, respectively, using Southern blot hybridization analysis, and Borg et al 13 reported 12% using dot blot hybridization analysis. Compared to these reported rates, our detection rate of HPV in CSW was higher (48.4%).…”

The high prevalence of HPV, C. trachomatis, and N. gonorrhoeae infection in CSW poses a risk of further transmission of STD to the general public, suggesting the need for further education and screening for CSW and the general public. We found high- and intermediate-oncogenic-type HPV to be the most prevalent infection among both CSW and control subjects. Screening for HPV may be necessary in STD and general clinics to predict the risk of cervical malignancy. Hybrid capture assays, which permit simultaneous detection of HPV and other STD with high sensitivity, may be a useful diagnostic method.

Objective We used the hybrid capture assays to investigate the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV), Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae among commercial sex workers in Tokyo. Methods Five hundred forty‐six consecutive commercial sex workers (CSW) who visited an STD clinic for STD checkup in 1998 and 1999 were studied. A control group consisted of 233 consecutive women who visited a general gynecological clinic for annual checkup. A cervical sample was obtained for hybrid capture assays for HPV‐A (low‐oncogenic‐risk types), HPV‐B (intermediate‐ and high‐oncogenic‐risk types), C. trachomatis, and N. gonorrhoeae. Fisher's exact test was used for statistical analyses. Results The positive rate for HPV‐B among the CSW was 48.4%, significantly higher than the 6.0% among the control subjects. The positive rates for HPV‐A, C. trachomatis, and N. gonorrhoeae were also significantly higher among the CSW than among the control subjects. Among the microorganisms tested, the positive rate for HPV‐B was the highest in both the STD and control groups. Conclusions The high prevalence of HPV, C. trachomatis, and N. gonorrhoeae infection in CSW poses a risk of further transmission of STD to the general public, suggesting the need for further education and screening for CSW and the general public. We found high‐ and intermediate‐oncogenic‐type HPV to be the most prevalent infection among both CSW and control subjects.

“…Whilst acquisition of high-risk HPVs may occur in virgins vulval, rather than cervical, HPV infections are most common. Nonetheless, investigations of children [14] and of adult women [15] have indicated that external genital HPV infections are usually accompanied by internal (cervicovaginal) HPV infections.…”

There is now compelling evidence that persistent infection with certain types of human genital papillomaviruses (HPV) may, after many years, lead to cervical cancer. However, HPV have been detected in asymptomatic women, infants and children. Several studies have demonstrated that infants can acquire high-risk HPV infections from their mothers at birth. Thus, the traditional view that cervical-cancer associated HPV infections are primarily sexually transmitted needs to be re-assessed. Accordingly, the role of mother to child transmission of cancer-associated HPVs may need to be investigated further. These facts are pertinent to those developing prophylactic vaccines to prevent high-risk HPV infections and cervical carcinoma.
