The incidence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas is increasing. Oral HPV infection is acquired through oro-genital contact. We examined the association between barrier use during oro-genital sex and oral HPV 16/18 prevalence in HPV unvaccinated individuals.
A cross-sectional analysis of individuals aged 18-59 years with a history of oro-genital sex was conducted using National Health and Nutrition Assessment Survey (NHANES) from 2009 to 2014. Multivariable logistic regression models were adjusted for gender, total number of oro-genital sex partners, smoking status, and alcohol consumption. Using NHANES sample weights, analysis was weighted for national representation.
Sample of 4,357 individuals represented 68,680,333 individuals nationally. 6.6% reported always or usually using a barrier during oro-genital sex, and 1.3% were positive for oral HPV 16/18 infection. In the adjusted analysis, barrier users were less likely to be oral HPV 16/18 positive, as compared to those who did not report using a barrier (RR: 0.21; 95% CI: 0.04-0.97; p < 0.05).
Using barrier during oro-genital sex might help to reduce oral HPV 16/18 prevalence. Hence, the use of a barrier should be promoted not only during vaginal but also during oro-genital sex. This finding is particularly important among HPV unvaccinated individuals.
人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)16 型和 18 型阳性口咽鳞癌的发病率正在上升。口腔 HPV 感染是通过口-生殖器接触获得的。我们研究了在未接种 HPV 疫苗的个体中,口-生殖器性行为时使用屏障与口腔 HPV16/18 感染率之间的关系。
利用 2009 年至 2014 年全国健康和营养调查(NHANES)的数据,对有口-生殖器接触史的 18-59 岁个体进行横断面分析。多变量逻辑回归模型调整了性别、口-生殖器性伴侣总数、吸烟状况和饮酒状况。使用 NHANES 样本权重,对全国代表性进行了加权分析。
4357 名个体的样本代表了全国 68680333 人。6.6%的人报告在口-生殖器性行为中始终或通常使用屏障,1.3%的人口腔 HPV16/18 感染阳性。在调整分析中,与未报告使用屏障的个体相比,屏障使用者口腔 HPV16/18 阳性的可能性较低(RR:0.21;95%CI:0.04-0.97;p<0.05)。
在口-生殖器性行为中使用屏障可能有助于降低口腔 HPV16/18 的流行率。因此,不仅应在阴道性交中,而且应在口-生殖器性交中推广使用屏障。对于未接种 HPV 疫苗的个体,这一发现尤为重要。
