Immunity after HPV Vaccination in Patients after Sexual Initiation

Abstract: Vaccinations against human papillomavirus (HPV) are included in the primary prevention of precancerous intraepithelial lesions and HPV-related cancers. Despite the undeniable effectiveness of vaccination in the juvenile population, there is still little research on the effect in patients after sexual initiation. Our study aims to assess anti-HPV (L1 HPV) antibodies in healthy patients and diagnosed cervical pathology after 9-valent vaccination. We provide a prospective, ongoing 12-month, non-randomised pilot s… Show more

“…The same study also highlights that the duration of innate immunity is still unknown. On the contrary, HPV vaccination generates 10-to 100-fold higher titres of anti-HPV L1 neutralizing antibodies than natural infection (23) and significantly reduces the risk of invasive cervical cancer, which is the ultimate intent of HPV vaccination programmes (24). Our results suggest the high susceptibility of the young population in our province to HPV infection.…”

“…Indeed, as reported by the VIANE trial, the immune response showed a low decrease between four and seven years after administration, indicating that the vaccine is capable of conferring an immune cover and promoting HPV clearance and lesion regression. This viewpoint is supported by experimental research that shows a higher level of IgG antibodies in women who received an anti-HPV nonavalent vaccine compared to unvaccinated subjects, demonstrating the vaccine’s efficacy also in women with a history of previous sexual intercourse, HPV infection, or LSIL diagnosis [ 45 ]. Some other studies, too, reported an increase in HPV antibody levels after vaccination that was three times higher than after HPV infection.…”

“…Furthermore, mainly for the mean age of the patients, none of the patient was vaccinated against HPV, which could have affected HPV prevalence distribution. 24,25 Among potential limitations, the cross-sectional retrospective nature of the study and unavailability of some clinical information, which limited further analysis of potentially relevant factors such as smoking, immunodepression, or location of lesions.…”
