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

  • Anogenital HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the USA [2]
  • In USA, the prevalence of anogenital HPV infection is estimated to be 79 million with incidence of 14 million new cases each year [2]
  • Worldwide, 90% of genital warts is caused by the HPV 6 and 11[3]
  • 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

†Data from CDC

HPV associated cancers

  • In USA, the incidence of HPV associated cancer is 38,793 each year (data 2008-2012)[4]
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[3]
  • In USA, more than 90% of cervical cancer is caused by HPV.[4]
Oropharyngeal cancer
  • Incidence of oropharyngeal cancer associated with HPV is showing an increasing trend in USA[5][6]
  • 70% of oropharyngeal cancers are associated with HPV[4]
Anal cancer
  • In USA, the incidence of anal cancer has increased in the last three decades[5][7][8][9]
  • There is increased incidence among HIV positive individuals and incidence has not shown a decline after the advent of antiretroviral therapy.[10]
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis
  • Rare with rates of about 2 cases per 100,000 children in the United States[11]
  • Common in children born to females having active genital warts at the time of vaginal delivery

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[12] (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.[13][14]
  • Highest incidence of genital warts is seen in females aged 20-24 yrs and males aged 25-29 yrs of age[15] (CDC)
  • Prevalence of cervical HPV in females may decline 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)

†Data from CDC

Gender

Genital warts

Prevalence per 1000 person-years Among participants in private health plans aged 10–39 years by sex, age group, and year, 2003–2010 is shown in the graph below:

†Data from CDC

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[4]
  • 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)[16](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 african american females as compared to caucasians[14][17]
