Human papillomavirus

The human papillomavirus is a viral disease that can cause anything from warts that we see on the skin of our hands and feet and genitalia to cancer of the cervix, anus or oral orifices. Although anybody can be infected with the human papillomavirus, it is more common in adolescent and young women. We will see how the human papillomavirus is unique in the way that it infects cell as well as its symptoms and its current treatment. The papillomavirus was first researched in the 1930’s, when a scientist

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention [CDC], 2015). Scientists predict that nearly all sexually active men and women will be infected with HPV at one point during their lifetime (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention [CDC], 2010, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention [CDC], 2015; International Agency for Research on Cancer, 2007, Riguad, 2015). Although HPV is common, it usually

asil: A human papillomavirus vaccine [GENERAL INTRODUCTION] The modern world is considerably lucky in the fact that vaccinations have been created and made readily available thanks to Edward Jenner and his development of the first vaccine for smallpox in 1796. Since the 18th century, there have been about fifty different vaccines created to protect humans against bacterial and viral diseases. A vaccine is a substance that can be administered through needle injections, by mouth, or by aerosol to

Abstract The Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted diseases in America today. With infection rates only increasing every year, it is important to know how HPV can be prevented and treated. In this paper, there is a brief overview of how HPV replicates and what happens when the cell is infected. It will also look at methods to preventing HPV infection such as vaccines, safe sex and abstinence as well as ways to treat HPV when prevention fails including wart removal

1. Introduction Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is an extremely commonly detected DNA virus widely known as the most cause of HNSCC, in most cases, the virus doesn’t cause any health problems and it goes away on its own, however, HPV can sometimes cause health problems such as cancer and warts. Furthermore, the world health organisation (WHO) reported that HPV accounts approximately 600,000 cases of oropharyngeal cancer, anal cancer, cervix cancer as well as genital wart worldwide. There are over 100

Introduction Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection with fourteen million new cases per year (Valentino & Poronsky, 2016). These astronomical numbers make HPV “the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection in the United States” (Valentino & Poronsky, 2016). HPV infections have been associated with causing multiple cancers. In 2006, the first vaccine against HPV emerged, Gardisil. In 2009 a second vaccine was approved by the FDA, Cervavix (Valentino & Poronsky, 2016). Despite

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most sexually transmitted infections in the United States. It is a virus with many subtypes that cause diseases in both males and females ranging from warts to cervical cancer. There are more than one hundred types of human papillomavirus found, some “high-risk” and some “low-risk”, and one-third of those are spread through sexual contact. Though it can be easily spread it is just as easily preventable. With technology and health care becoming so modernized

Background: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection and will occur in the life of a sexually active man or woman. It is associated with causing cancers of the anus, penis, vulva, vagina and cervix. Currently, there are no screening methods for males, only females (CDC2014). This review examines the role of men in the transmission of HPV and why there are no screening recommendations in males. Methods: A computerized search was conducted using CINAHL, Pub Med and

Abstract Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is DNA virus of the papillomavirus family, and it is identified has one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted infections (STI) in the world (Stanley, 2008). In the context of its diagnosis, HPV is commonly diagnosed using various methods that include acetic acid test that turns the areas affected with HPV white, Pap test that detect abnormalities in cells and tissues, and DNA test that detects the gene predisposing HPV infections. Irrespective of

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a family of sexually transmitted viruses that infect skin and mucosal cells, causing genital warts and many different types of cancer that can affect the mouth, throat, vulva, vagina, cervix, penis and anus. It is a very common sexually transmitted disease that can be spread through sexual contact (sexual intercourse, oral sex and hand-genital contact) and from infected mothers to their babies during labour. The disease cannot completely be prevented from being transmitted
