A report of the number of women that have ever been infected by any type will be much higher than the number that are currently infected by one of the high-risk types. The confusion surrounding the issue is highlighted by news coverage of a comprehensive study published in February 2007. Some headlines read "more women than expected have HPV", while others said that infection was "rarer than first estimated".<ref>

Overview

Genital HPV infection is very common, with estimates suggesting that more than 50% of women will become infected with one or more of the sexually transmitted HPV types at some point during adulthood.[1]

Epidemiology

Cutaneous warts

  • Widespread in general population
  • Incidence of common warts is more than plantar or flat warts

Genital warts

  • Worldwide, 90% of genital warts is caused by the HPV 6 and 11[2]
  • Prevalence of genital warts is 1% in USA as compared to 10% in Scandinavian countries
  • In USA, the incidence of genital warts has slightly increased in the year 2013

HPV associated cancers

  • In USA, the incidence of HPV associated cancer is 38,793 each year (data 2008-2012)[3]
Cervical cancer
  • Worldwide, the incidence of invasive cervical cancer is 500,000 cases each year.
  • Worlwide, 70% of cervical cancer is caused by the HPV 16 and 18[2]
  • In USA, more than 90% of cervical cancer is caused by HPV.[3]
Oropharyngeal cancer
  • Incidence of oropharyngeal cancer associated with HPV is showing an increasing trend in USA(23297039)(21969503)
  • 70% of oropharyngeal cancers are associated with HPV[3]
Anal cancer
  • In USA, the incidence of anal cancer has increased in the last three decades(23297039)((19293308)(19156144)(23042932)
  • There is increased incidence among HIV positive individuals and incidence has not shown a decline after the advent of antiretroviral therapy.(7062503)
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis
  • Rare with rates of about 2 cases per 100,000 children in the United States[4]
  • Common in children born to females having active genital warts at the time of vaginal delivery

The American Social Health Association projections in 2006 were yet more pessimistic, predicting that about 75% of the reproductive population will have been infected with genital HPV infection in their lifetime.[5] Studies show that HPV infection is much more prevalent in the gay community. Studies show a link between HPV infection and penile and anal cancer, and the risk for anal cancer is 17 to 31 times higher among gay and bisexual men than among heterosexual men.[6][7]

Although it is possible to test for HPV DNA in men,[8] there are no FDA-approved tests for general screening, since the testing is inconclusive and considered medically unnecessary.[6][9]

There is no screening test for HPV infection in men. However, although there are no formal guidelines, some experts believe that men who receive anal sex should have a routine anal Pap test, especially if they also have HIV infection. Ask your health professional whether and how often you should be tested.[10]

Information from the CDC

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), by the age of 50 more than 80% of American women will have contracted at least one strain of genital HPV. All women are encouraged to get a yearly pap smear solely to detect cellular abnormalities caused by HPV.[11]

Genital HPV is the most common sexual transmitted infection in the United States. About 6.2 million Americans will get infected with genital HPV this year. According to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC), 11% of American women do not have regular cervical cancer screenings; women who do not have cervical cancer screenings on a regular basis dramatically increase their chances of developing cervical cancer. About 14,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with cervical cancer disease each year, and more than 3,900 women die in the United States each year from this disease.

Information from the AMA

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (Dunne, Eileen F. et al, 2007) the prevalence of HPV infection among females in the United States is as follows:[12]

  • 24.5% prevalence of HPV among females 14 to 19 years old
  • 44.8% prevalence of HPV among females 20 to 24 years old
  • 27.4% prevalence of HPV among females 25 to 29 years old
  • 27.5% prevalence of HPV among females 30 to 39 years old
  • 25.2% prevalence of HPV among females 40 to 49 years old
  • 19.6% prevalence of HPV among females 50 to 59 years old

Demographics

Following demographic factors may affect the incidence and prevalence of HPV infection:

Age

Cutaneous warts

  • More common in children aged 12-16 yrs of age[13] (2599836)
  • 10% of children and 3.5% of adults are affected, worldwide

Genital warts

  • Incidence of genital HPV infection increases at the age when individuals begin to engage in sexual activity.[14]
  • Highest incidence of genital warts is seen in females aged 20-24 yrs and males aged 25-29 yrs of age (CDC)
  • Prevalence of cervical HPV in females declines after age 30(12571255)

HPV associated cancer

  • Incidence is more common in younger age group(sexually active)(18334711)(2196503)(18798277)(22641955)

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis

  • Increased incidence is seen in children as compared to adults(18496162)(23013073)

Gender

HPV associated cancers

  • Out of total 38,793 HPV-associated cancers that occur in the United States each year, 23,000 occur among women, and about 15,793 among men[3]
  • Three fold increased prevalence of HPV associated anal and oropharyngeal cancer in men as compared to women.
  • Increased incidence of oropharngeal and anal cancer among men who have sex with men (MSM)[6](22282321 JAMA)(22706220)(24625808)(25291584)
  • Worldwide, the point prevalence of HPV in females is 10%, with highest prevalence among african females(17597569)

Race

  • There may be increased incidence of high risk HPV infections in black females as compared to white[15]
