High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Penile and cervical cancer rates are highest in sub-Saharan Africa. However, little is known about the impact of HIV infection on HR-HPV acquisition and clearance among heterosexual men.
HR-HPV incidence and clearance were evaluated in 999 men (776 HIV-negative and 223 HIV-positive) aged 15-49 years who participated in male circumcision trials in Rakai, Uganda.
Penile swabs were tested for HR-HPV by Roche HPV Linear Array. A Poisson multivariable model was used to estimate adjusted incidence rate ratios (adjIRRs) and clearance risk ratios (adjRRs).
HR-HPV incidence was 66.5/100 person-years in HIV-positive men and 32.9/100 person-years among HIV-negative men [IRR=2.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.67-2.44]. Incidence was higher in the unmarried men (adjIRR=1.73, 95% CI 1.19-2.52), and decreased with age (adjIRR for men >35 years=0.64, 95% CI 0.43-0.94) and male circumcision (adjIRR=0.70, 95% CI 0.55-0.89). HR-HPV clearance was 114.7/100 person-years for HIV-positive men and 170.2/100 person-years for HIV-negative men (risk ratio=0.67, 95% CI 0.59-0.77). HR-HPV clearance in HIV-negative men increased with circumcision (adjRR=1.48, 95% CI 1.26-1.74), HSV-2 infection (adjRR=1.20, 95% CI 1.01-1.44), and symptoms of urethral discharge (adjRR=1.35, 95% CI 1.06-1.73). Clearance of HR-HPV was significantly lower for unmarried men (adjRR 0.76, 95% CI 0.59-0.98).
HR-HPV is common among heterosexual Ugandan men, particularly the HIV-infected. HIV infection increases HR-HPV acquisition and reduces HR-HPV clearance. Promotion of male circumcision and additional prevention measures, such as HPV vaccination, is critical in sub-Saharan Africa.
高危型人乳头瘤病毒(HR-HPV)感染是最常见的性传播感染。撒哈拉以南非洲的阴茎癌和宫颈癌发病率最高。然而,对于 HIV 感染对异性恋男性中 HR-HPV 感染和清除的影响知之甚少。
对参加乌干达拉凯男性包皮环切试验的 999 名年龄在 15-49 岁的男性(776 名 HIV 阴性和 223 名 HIV 阳性)进行了 HR-HPV 发病率和清除率评估。
通过罗氏 HPV 线性阵列检测阴茎拭子中的 HR-HPV。使用泊松多变量模型估计调整后的发病率比值比(adjIRR)和清除风险比(adjRR)。
HIV 阳性男性的 HR-HPV 发病率为 66.5/100 人年,HIV 阴性男性为 32.9/100 人年[发病率比(IRR)=2.02,95%置信区间(CI)1.67-2.44]。未婚男性的发病率更高(adjIRR=1.73,95%CI 1.19-2.52),且随年龄增长而降低(年龄>35 岁男性的 adjIRR=0.64,95%CI 0.43-0.94)和男性包皮环切术(adjIRR=0.70,95%CI 0.55-0.89)。HIV 阳性男性的 HR-HPV 清除率为 114.7/100 人年,HIV 阴性男性为 170.2/100 人年(风险比=0.67,95%CI 0.59-0.77)。HIV 阴性男性的 HR-HPV 清除率随着包皮环切术(adjRR=1.48,95%CI 1.26-1.74)、单纯疱疹病毒 2 感染(adjRR=1.20,95%CI 1.01-1.44)和尿道分泌物症状(adjRR=1.35,95%CI 1.06-1.73)而增加。未婚男性的 HR-HPV 清除率明显降低(adjRR 0.76,95%CI 0.59-0.98)。
HR-HPV 在乌干达异性恋男性中很常见,尤其是 HIV 感染者。HIV 感染增加了 HR-HPV 的感染,降低了 HR-HPV 的清除率。在撒哈拉以南非洲,推广男性包皮环切术和其他预防措施(如 HPV 疫苗接种)至关重要。
