African-American women less likely to receive HPV vaccine than whites, Pitt study finds
(University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences) Even with access to health care, African-American women are less likely to receive the vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV), which reduces the risk for cervical cancer, according to a study by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. The findings, published today in the Journal of Adolescent Health, suggest a need for health care providers to both bolster HPV vaccination recommendations and address negative attitudes toward the vaccine among this vulnerable patient population.

Human papillomavirus infection prevalence and prevention
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are classified into three genera and further categorized as high-risk (oncogenic), associated with malignancies such as cervical cancer, or low-risk (non-oncogenic), associated with benign diseases. Many oncogenic types are found in the oral cavity, but most HPV oral infections do not progress to neoplastic disease. The HPV types most often associated with benign genital and oral condylomas and papillomas are HVP 6 and 11. Those associated with oral warts and oral verrucas are HPV 13 and 32 and HPV 2 and 4, respectively. The oncogenic HPV types include HPV 16 and 18. Exposure to HPV infection i...
