“…Finally, the potential impact of vertical transmission on the epidemiology of high risk HPV‐infections may have been under‐estimated by other workers 64 since, first, between 5% and 40% of the young female population have asymptomatic HPV‐16 infections 65,66 . Second, this may increase to about 52% during pregnancy 42 .…”

Not all studies have proven that cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a sexually acquired condition. Determinants of HPV infection were analyzed in a survey of 718 asymptomatic women in northeastern Brazil. HPV DNA was detected and typed by polymerase chain reaction. HPV types were classified into low- and high-risk groups on the basis of their association with cervical carcinomas. Overall HPV prevalence (18.3%) was moderately associated with age at first intercourse (P = .111, trend) and number of lifetime sex partners (P = .005, trend). However, separate analyses by risk revealed different degrees of association with sexual activity. Except for a positive association with multiple partners among women < 40 years old (P = .034, trend), infection with low-risk types (9.7%) was not correlated with sexual behavior. On the other hand, infection with high-risk HPV types (11.6%) was strongly and independently associated with both multiple partners (P = .009, trend) and age at first intercourse (P = .007, trend) in all age groups.

In the mid-1980s, a clear connection was made between infection by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer. This association led to the generation of a large body of literature about the diagnosis, testing, treatment, transmission and, virological life span of HPV-related neoplasms and cancers. Because of advances in virology, molecular biology, and biochemistry, more is known about HPV and its effects on cervical neoplasms than ever before. Because deaths from cervical cancer, while less common in the United States and western Europe, account for 20% of cancer deaths in women worldwide (1), accurate knowledge of the disease and its prevention is critical for nurses working with patients both with preinvasive and invasive disease.
