“Bridging the HPV Knowledge Gap,” Christina Demopoulos and two others talk about the importance of knowledge on HPV and how most patients are unaware of this virus and that is it on the oral health professionals to educate them. This virus is transmitted easily through a small cut or tear in the oral cavity and is associated with a variety of oral lesion, cances, and oropahygnel cancers. The article included a statistic that about 12,000 people between ages 15 and 24 are affected everyday by HPV and its

in Education Inquiry 04 March 2011 Research Draft Mandatory Human Papilloma Vaccine Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the most commonly sexually transmitted disease in the United States. It is estimated that at least 80% of men and women acquire an HPV infection during their lifetime. “In a recent study of women in the United States 25% of fourteen to nineteen year olds were infected with at least one type of HPV. HPV is often acquired within a few months of sexual initiation, even among people with

sexually transmitted infection worldwide. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the virus “is so common that nearly all sexually active men and women get it at some point in their lives.” Human papillomavirus, better known as simply HPV, has close to forty strains, which can lead to warts or the development of cancer. A study conducted by Shelley Francis and Mira Katz revealed that across the globe, “cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity among women. Even though

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States among teens and young adults (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015). HPV is known to attack epithelial cells and as many as 75% to 80% of males and females can become infected in their lifetime (Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., 2012). There are many different strains—some of which cause no symptoms and others that can cause genital warts, as well as various types of oropharyngeal and/or anogenital

HPV vaccinations have been involved in some heated debates involving the general public and the government for some time now; whether the vaccine is worth being administered to young girls is the underlying question and if so at what cost. In the articles “HPV Vaccine Texas Tyranny” and “The HPV Debate” both authors Mike Adams and Arthur Allen provide enlightening information on why the HPV vaccinations should not be mandated through legislation, Adams conveys his bias and explains how the government

INTRODUCTION Cervical cancer is a typically slow-growing type of gynecologic carcinogenesis caused predominantly by persistent infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), most commonly the high-risk genotypes HPV-16 and HPV-18.3 Cervical cancer typically originates in the transformation zone of the cervix, where there is a junction of ectocervix and endocervix. The most common type of cervical carcinoma is squamous cell carcinoma and makes up 70-80% of cervical cancers. This type of cervical

Title: HPV-Related Cancer On The Rise Among Men Category: News & Opinion Tags: HPV virus, oral cancer, oral HPV, HPV infections, oropharyngeal cancer, throat cancer Teaser: Nearly two-million men in the U.S. are vulnerable to a silent cancer. Article: Human papilloma virus, or HPV, is a sexually transmitted infection, and the more sex partners someone has, the bigger their risk. Now, a study out this week shows there’s a silent epidemic of HPV-related cancers among men. In fact, the study found

genital HPV infection is between 29% and 39% (Hawke). The Human Papillomavirus infects both males and females; however, the protective benefit in heterosexual males has not yet been explored. Therefore, this study monitored the efficacy of the HPV vaccine in heterosexual males to see how it affected both the short-term and long-term health of their female partners. This study demonstrated that heterosexual males who received the vaccination and their unvaccinated partners showed higher anti-HPV antibody

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 resolves

the usage of HPV Vaccines in prevention of various types of cancer. The authors of this research paper are Katlyn Scott, RN, MSc, and Mary-Lou Batty, RN, MSc. Even though this paper is written by the Nurse Practitioners, it is a meaningful source of information for RNs about barriers for implementation and lack of education about the use of the vaccines in the general population. The authors created this article in an attempt to investigate the reasons for the insufficient HPV vaccine immunization
