Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: In contrast to high rates of oral human papillomavirus (HPV) found in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected adults, only 2% of 209 perinatally HIV-infected youth had oral HPV. This rate was similar in HIV-exposed but uninfected youth. No association was found with sexual activity; however, low CD4 counts were associated with oral HPV. Abstract : A study of perinatally human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected and HIV-exposed but uninfected youth found that oral human papillomavirus detection was rare. This is in stark contrast to adults with HIV infection.
