Abstract
The uptake of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine remains suboptimal despite being a part of routine vaccination within national immunization program(s). This indicates probable challenges with the implementation of HPV immunization program(s) in various countries. The objective of this systematic literature review (SLR) was to identify implementation strategies for HPV vaccination within national and regional immunization programs worldwide with an aim to provide guidance for countries targeting to increase their HPV vaccine coverage rate (VCR). A comprehensive literature search was conducted across Medline and Embase and included articles published between January 2012 and January 2022. Of the 2,549 articles retrieved, 168 met inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Strategies shown to improve HPV vaccination uptake in the reviewed literature include campaigns to increase community awareness and knowledge of HPV, health care provider trainings, integrating HPV vaccination within school settings, coordinated efforts via multi-sectoral partnerships, and vaccination reminder and recall systems. Findings may help national authorities understand key considerations for HPV vaccination when designing and implementing programs aiming to increase HPV VCR in adolescents.

Abstract
Despite the ongoing global vaccination campaign aimed at preventing human papillomavirus (HPV) related health issues, the uptake of the HPV vaccine remains unacceptably low in developing regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at determining the pooled prevalence and associated factors of HPV vaccine uptake among adolescent school girls in SSA. Electronic bio-medical databases were explored. Pooled prevalence, publication bias, meta-regression, sub-group, and sensitivity analysis were performed. The estimated pooled prevalence of HPV vaccine uptake was 28.53% [95% CI: (5.25, 51.81)]. Having good knowledge and a positive attitude was significantly associated with HPV vaccine uptake in SSA. Subgroup analysis revealed the highest uptake was 62.52% from Kenya and the lowest was 3.77% in Nigeria. The HPV vaccine uptake is low. It underscores the need for community education, school-based immunization, and education programs that promote the uptake of the vaccine to increase coverage.

Abstract
Few studies focused on human papillomavirus (HPV) in male patients. This study aimed to explore the detection rate and genotyping of HPV among male patients in Beijing to provide a reference for formulating prevention strategies for HPV infection. The cross-sectional study was conducted in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from November 2015 to March 2023. It covered male patients from the urology and dermatology departments. Fifteen high-risk HPV genotypes were detected by the multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction method. The overall detection rate of HPV was 25.19% (1288/5114, 95% confidence interval [CI] 24.00%-26.38%), of which the single infection rate was 16.99% (869/5114, 95% CI 15.97%-18.05%) and the co-infection rate was 8.19% (419/5114, 95% CI 7.46%-8.98%). The detection rate of HPV was 40.77% (521/1278), 35.58% (58/163), 32.69% (101/309), 31.91% (60/188), 12.63% (299/2367), and 32.35% (131/405) among male patients with balanitis, warts, rash, urethritis, prostatitis, and other urinary inflammation, respectively (P < 0.001). The top five HPV genotypes were HPV-52, HPV-58, HPV-16, HPV-51, and HPV-66. After the first positive HPV test, the proportion of male patients who turned negative was 22.47% within 3 months, 26.40% within 3-6 months, 24.72% within 6-12 months, 17.98% within 12-24 months, and 8.43% more than 24 months. The detection rate of HPV was high among male patients from the urology and dermatology departments in Beijing, which should be considered to develop HPV vaccines with better prevention effects.

Abstract
Isothermal nucleic acid amplification methods have many advantages for use at the point of care. However, there is a lack of multiplexed isothermal amplification tests to detect multiple targets in a single reaction, which would be valuable for many diseases, such as infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV). In this study, we developed a multiplexed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reaction to detect the three most common hrHPV types that cause cervical cancer (HPV16, HPV18, and HPV45) and a cellular control for sample adequacy. First, we characterized the assay limit of detection (LOD) in a real-time reaction with fluorescence readout; after 30 min of amplification the LOD was 100, 10, and 10 copies/reaction of HPV16, HPV18, and HPV45, respectively, and 0.1 ng/reaction of human genomic DNA (gDNA). Next, we implemented the assay on lateral flow strips, and the LOD was maintained for HPV16 and HPV18, but increased to 100 copies/reaction for HPV45 and to 1 ng/reaction for gDNA. Lastly, we used the LAMP test to evaluate total nucleic acid extracted from 38 clinical samples; compared to qPCR, the LAMP test had 89% sensitivity and 95% specificity. When integrated with sample preparation, this multiplexed LAMP assay could be useful for point-of-care testing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Enduring Consensus Cervical Cancer Screening and Management Guidelines Committee developed recommendations for dual stain (DS) testing with CINtec PLUS Cytology for use of DS to triage high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive results. METHODS Risks of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse were calculated according to DS results among individuals testing HPV-positive using data from the Kaiser Permanente Northern California cohort and the STudying Risk to Improve DisparitiES study in Mississippi. Management recommendations were based on clinical action thresholds developed for the 2019 American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines. Resource usage metrics were calculated to support decision-making. Risk estimates in relation to clinical action thresholds were reviewed and used as the basis for draft recommendations. After an open comment period, recommendations were finalized and ratified through a vote by the Consensus Stakeholder Group. RESULTS For triage of positive HPV results from screening with primary HPV testing (with or without genotyping) or with cytology cotesting, colposcopy is recommended for individuals testing DS-positive. One-year follow-up with HPV-based testing is recommended for individuals testing DS-negative, except for HPV16- and HPV18-positive results, or high-grade cytology in cotesting, where immediate colposcopy referral is recommended. Risk estimates were similar between the Kaiser Permanente Northern California and STudying Risk to Improve DisparitiES populations. In general, resource usage metrics suggest that compared with cytology, DS requires fewer colposcopies and detects cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse earlier. CONCLUSIONS Dual stain testing with CINtec PLUS Cytology is acceptable for triage of HPV-positive test results. Risk estimates are portable across different populations.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) interacts, in vitro, with laminin 332 (LN332), a key component of the extracellular matrix. In this study, we performed bio-layer interferometry (BLI) and affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) to investigate the binding properties of this interaction. Virus-like particles (VLPs), composed of the HPV16 L1 major capsid protein, were used as HPV model and LN332 as the VLPs binding partner. Using BLI, we quantitatively determined the kinetics of the interaction, via the measurement of VLP binding and release from LN332 immobilized onto the surface of aminopropylsilane biosensors. We found an averaged kon of 1.74 x 104 M-1s-1 and an averaged koff of 1.50 x 10-4 s-1. Furthermore, an ACE method was developed to study the interaction under physiological conditions, where the interactants are moving freely in solution, without any fluorescence labeling. Specifically, a constant amount of HPV16-VLPs was preincubated with increasing LN332 concentrations and then the samples were injected in the capillary electrophoresis instrument. A shift in the migration time of the HPV16-VLP/LN332 complexes, carrying an increasing number of LN332 molecules bound per VLP, was observed. The mobility of the complexes was found to decrease with increasing LN332 concentrations in the sample. It was used to quantify stability constant. From BLI and ACE approaches, we reported an apparent equilibrium dissociation constant in the nanomolar range (8.89 nM and 17.7 nM, respectively) for the complex between HPV16-VLPs and LN332.

Abstract
The present qualitative study is a part of the process evaluation of a complex intervention, the randomized controlled trial, "Prevention of human papillomavirus (HPV) in a school-based setting." We aimed to explore participating school nurses' perceptions and experiences of delivering the educational HPV intervention to adolescents aged 16. Focus group interviews were conducted with school nurses (n = 20) and analyzed with inductive qualitative content analysis. The overall theme Easily adapted into the existing role as a school nurse permeated the participants' views. The nurses were in favor of delivering an intervention that increased the HPV vaccination rates and improved beliefs and awareness about HPV prevention. It suits their work and health-promoting aspect of their role well and can easily be adapted into the current school health consultant curriculum. Having material in different languages to share with adolescents and their parents to promote equal health was deemed important.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) persistence after surgery in patients with cervical cancer, and to analyze the factors associated with HPV persistence and viral load after surgery. METHODS Medical records of women who underwent surgery for treatment of cervical cancer between 1 January 2018 and 30 June 2019 at Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai, China, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with persistent HPV infection after 2 years of follow-up were identified. Univariate and multivariate analyses were employed to determine the impact of various factors including patient age, menopausal status, parity, and surgical margin status on HPV persistence. The Wilcoxon test was used to analyze the factors that influenced postoperative HPV viral load. RESULTS Altogether, 607 women were eligible for the final analysis. The persistence rates of HPV at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery were 17.3, 13.7, and 10.2 %, respectively. In univariate analysis, the factors that were predictive of the persistence of HPV infection were old age, postmenopausal status, and positive vaginal incision margin with cancer. In multivariate analysis, the significant independent predictive factors were postmenopausal status and positive vaginal incision margin with cancer (P < 0.05, odds ratio (OR) = 2.289, 95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.262-4.150 and OR = 3.271, 95 % CI: 1.253-8.537, respectively). A vaginal lesion with cancer or squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) and positive vaginal incision margin influenced HPV viral load at 6 months after surgery (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Postmenopausal patients and those with positive vaginal incision margin with cancer are at an increased risk of HPV persistence after surgical treatment for cervical cancer. Vaginal lesions with cancer or SILs and positive vaginal incision margin are risk factors for high HPV viral load after surgery.

PURPOSE The incidence of anal cancer is on the rise in the US, especially among high-risk groups. This study examined the prevalence and determinants of awareness of the causal relationship between HPV and anal cancer among US adults. METHODS Study data was obtained from the 2017 to 2020 iterations of the Health Information National Trends Survey. The prevalence of awareness that HPV causes anal cancer was estimated among HINTS respondents who were aware of HPV in general. Survey weights were used to provide estimates representative of the adult US population. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to examine the associations between awareness that HPV causes anal cancer and cancer-related behaviors/perceptions and sociodemographic characteristics of respondents. RESULTS Two thousand six hundred and eighty four (27.2%) of the study population were aware that HPV caused anal cancer. Those of gay sexual orientation were more aware than heterosexuals [OR 2.27; 95% CI (1.24, 4.14)]. Compared to respondents with a high school diploma or less, individuals with some college education [OR 1.38; 95% CI (1.03, 1.85)] and those with at least a college degree [OR 1.52; 95% CI (1.17, 1.98)] were more likely to be aware. Participants who had positive cancer information seeking behavior were more aware of the HPV-anal cancer link compared to those who did not [OR 1.57; 95% CI (1.30, 1.89)]. CONCLUSION Population-level awareness that HPV causes anal cancer remains critically low in the US. Sexual orientation, level of education and cancer information seeking behavior are associated with increased awareness of the causal relationship between HPV and anal cancer. Efforts should be directed toward addressing the awareness gap among individuals with lower education levels and promoting curiosity-driven information seeking behaviors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some high-grade cervical lesions and cervical cancers (HSIL+) test negative for human papillomavirus (HPV). The HPV-negative fraction varies between 0.03 % and 15 % between different laboratories. Monitoring and extended re-analysis of HPV-negative HSIL+ could thus be helpful to monitor performance of HPV testing services. We aimed to a) provide a real-life example of a quality assurance (QA) program based on re-analysis of HPV-negative HSIL+ and b) develop international guidance for QA of HPV testing services based on standardized identification of apparently HPV-negative HSIL+ and extended re-analysis, either by the primary laboratory or by a national HPV reference laboratory (NRL). METHODS There were 116 initially HPV-negative cervical specimens (31 histopathology specimens and 85 liquid-based cytology samples) sent to the Swedish HPV Reference Laboratory for re-testing. Based on the results, an international QA guidance was developed through an iterative consensus process. RESULT Standard PCR testing detected HPV in 55.2 % (64/116) of initially "HPV-negative" samples. Whole genome sequencing of PCR-negative samples identified HPV in an additional 7 samples (overall 61.2 % HPV positivity). Reasons for failure to detect HPV in an HSIL+ lesion are listed and guidance to identify cases for extended re-testing, including which information should be included when referring samples to an NRL are presented. CONCLUSION Monitoring the proportion of and reasons for failure to detect HPV in HSIL+ will help support high performance and quality improvement of HPV testing services. We encourage implementation of QA strategies based on re-analysis of "HPV negative" HSIL+ samples.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To prospectively compare the impact of treatment modality on patient-reported quality of life (QOL) in human papillomavirus-associated oropharynx squamous cell carcinoma (HPV + OPSCC). STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Academic medical center. METHODS One hundred one patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition T1-3 N0-2 HPV + OPSCC completed the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core questionnaire and Head and Neck Module pretreatment and 3-month and 1-year posttreatment. Mean score changes were compared to published minimal clinically important differences. RESULTS Patients underwent surgery alone (SA: N = 42, 42%), surgery with adjuvant radiation (S-RT: N = 10, 10%), surgery with adjuvant chemoradiation (S-CRT: N = 8, 8%), definitive radiation (RT: N = 11, 11%), or definitive chemoradiation (CRT: N = 30, 30%). SA, S-[C]RT, and [C]RT patients all reported clinically significant difficulty with sense of taste/smell persisting at 1 year. S-[C]RT and [C]RT patients reported statistically and clinically significant worse salivary dysfunction and problems with social eating at 1 year than SA. S-[C]RT patients reported statistically and clinically significant worse fatigue and head and neck pain compared to [C]RT and SA patients at 3 months, but normalized at 1 year. S-CRT compared to S-RT had statistically and clinically worse physical and role functioning and swallowing difficulties at 3 months but this difference was resolved by 1-year posttreatment. CONCLUSION HPV + OPSCC patients after SA report the lowest posttreatment QOL impact, whereas after S-CRT report the highest symptom burden. Careful selection for definitive surgery is important given the possibility of adjuvant CRT. Patients can experience persistent sense taste and smell difficulties at 1 year with all treatment modalities. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 134:1687-1695, 2024.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Human papillomavirus (HPV)-independent vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) is a rare yet aggressive precursor lesion of vulvar cancer. Our objectives were to estimate its long-term incidence, the risk of recurrent disease and progression to vulvar cancer, and risk factors thereof. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with HPV-independent VIN between 1991 and 2019 in a selected region were identified from the Dutch Nationwide Pathology Databank (Palga). Data were collected from the pathology reports. Crude and European age-standardized incidence rates were calculated for 10-year periods. Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to determine the cumulative recurrence and cancer incidence, followed by Cox regression analyses to identify associated risk factors. RESULTS A total of 114 patients were diagnosed with solitary HPV-independent VIN without prior or concurrent vulvar cancer. The European age-standardized incidence rate increased from 0.09 to 0.69 per 100,000 women-years between 1991-2010 and 2011-2019. A cumulative recurrence and cancer incidence of 29% and 46% were found after 8 and 13 years of follow-up, respectively. Nonradical surgery was identified as the only independent risk factor for recurrent HPV-independent VIN. Risk factors associated with progression to cancer were increasing age and a mutant p53 immunohistochemical staining pattern. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of detected HPV-independent VIN has substantially increased the last decade and the subsequent recurrence and vulvar cancer risks are high. Although HPV-independent VIN may present as a wide morphologic spectrum, surgical treatment should aim for negative resection margins followed by close surveillance, especially for p53 mutant lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is a promising step toward cervical cancer elimination. This study was conducted to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and HPV vaccine uptake among female adults in mainland China based on a large e-commerce platform. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional online survey of female adults between March 4 to April 20, 2022. The survey consisted of sociodemographic information, related knowledge, vaccination uptake, and attitudes toward vaccination. We included women aged 18-45 years in the final analysis. Logistic regressions were conducted to explore influencing factors associated with related knowledge, HPV vaccination uptake, and willingness to be vaccinated. RESULTS In total, 3,572 female adults (34 years, IQR 30-39) were included in the analysis. The majority of the participants were highly educated (78.7%) with a high monthly family income (79.0%). The median HPV knowledge score was 8.25 out of 11. More than 75% of respondents were unvaccinated, while 95.8% of unvaccinated female adults are willing to be vaccinated. Variables such as age, insurance, vaccination history, and whether one had heard of the HPV vaccine influence HPV vaccination practice (all p-values < 0.05). The main barriers to vaccination were vaccine inaccessibility and the high cost of the vaccine. CONCLUSION The findings of our study highlight a moderate knowledge level, poor vaccination rate, and strong willingness to be vaccinated among Chinese female adults who were better educated and wealthier. Targeted health education and practical support should be provided in the future, to reduce gaps between vaccine uptake and vaccine acceptance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The immune microenvironment of HPV-associated (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs) (HPV+OPSCCs) differs from that of HPV-independent oropharyngeal cancers (HPV-independent OPSCCs). The literature on the subject is very abundant, demanding an organized synthesis of this wealth of information to evaluate the hypothesis associating the favorable prognosis of HPV+OPSCC patients with a different immune microenvironment. A systematic review of the literature was conducted regarding the microenvironment of HPV+OPSCCs. DATA SOURCE MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. REVIEW METHODS A literature search was performed following PRISMA guidelines (Moher D. PLoS Med. 2009). The PEO (Population, Exposure, and Outcome) framework is detailed as follows: P: patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas, E: human papillomavirus (HPV), and O: histological and immunological composition of the tumoral microenvironment (TME). No meta-analysis was performed. RESULTS From 1,202 studies that were screened, 58 studies were included (n = 6,474 patients; n = 3,581 (55%) HPV+OPSCCs and n = 2,861(45%) HPV-independent OPSCCs). The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), CD3+ in 1,733 patients, CD4+ in 520 patients, and CD8+ (cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL)) in 3,104 patients, and high levels of PD-L1 expression in 1,222 patients is strongly correlated with an improved clinical outcome in HPV+OPSCCs. CONCLUSION This systematic review provides the most comprehensive information on the immune microenvironment of HPV+OPSCCs to date. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and PD-L1 expression are associated with a favorable prognosis. B, CD8+ and resident memory cells densities are higher in HPV+OPSCCs. The importance of myeloid lineages is still a matter of debate and research. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA Laryngoscope, 134:1507-1516, 2024.

Abstract
HPV vaccines are highly effective in preventing HPV-associated cancers; however, HPV vaccination uptake is low among Chinese students studying at U.S. colleges. The purposes of this study were to evaluate (a) perceived barriers and influential others trusted for advice regarding HPV vaccination and (b) factors (i.e. HPV vaccination, acculturation) related to barriers and influential advisors among 18- to 26-year-old Chinese students attending U.S. colleges. We used a cross-sectional design to obtain self-reported data in 2019 from a chain-referral sample of 213 Chinese students. Among 125 respondents who were unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, the reported barriers to receiving the HPV vaccine included: (a) lack of recommendations from a healthcare provider, (b) lack of risk perception for HPV infection, and (c) limited knowledge about HPV vaccination locations. The influential advisors for receiving HPV vaccination were doctors, parents, self, nurses, and same-sex friends. Multivariate analysis revealed that unvaccinated respondents were more likely to report the following barriers to HPV vaccination: (a) lack of recommendations from a healthcare provider, (b) lack of risk perception for HPV infection, (c) limited knowledge about vaccination locations, and (d) uncertainty about effectiveness. High Asian identified respondents were more likely to perceive barriers related to limited knowledge about vaccination locations and uncertainty about effectiveness, while they were less likely to state nurses as influential advisors. Individuals who received one or more HPV vaccine doses were more inclined to view same-sex friends and nurses as influential advisors for HPV vaccination. The influence of culture on preferences for information sources, such as specific providers and provider gender, needs to be addressed. Programs designed to decrease barriers and improve HPV vaccination among Chinese students should also focus on acculturation status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral human papillomavirus (HPV) is common among healthy individuals but causes and implications of persistent infections are under evaluation in the pathogenesis of head and neck neoplasms. METHODS This was a retrospective study evaluating the prevalence of high-risk (HR), probable HR and low-risk (LR) HPV types in patients reporting signs/symptoms of oral and upper respiratory tract lesions. Individuals attending between 2019 and 2022 a University Hospital in Milan, Italy, with risk factors for HPV (unprotected oral sex and/or previous documentation of HPV infection in oral and upper respiratory tract and/or another anatomical site) were included. RESULTS Fourteen out of 110 (12.7%) individuals tested positive for HPV DNA. The prevalence of HR-HPV and LR-HPV was 3.6% (4/110) and 9.1% (10/110), respectively. No probable/possible HR-HPV was detected. Specifically, 10/110 (9.1%) were diagnosed with 1 LR-HPV genotype, 3/110 (2.7%) were infected with 1 HR-HPV and 1/110 had 3 concomitant HR-HPV types. HPV 16 (2.7%, 3/110) and 6 (4.5%, 5/110) were the most common HR and LR types, respectively. One patient positive for HPV 16, 33 and 35 was diagnosed with cancer at the base of the tongue. Two individuals among those who tested positive for HPV DNA reported previous HPV vaccination. CONCLUSIONS Our data, in line with observations from previous prevalence studies, support the potential role of HPV in head and neck neoplasms. HPV DNA testing should be performed in patients presenting lesions in oral/respiratory tracts and risk factors for HPV. Improvement in HPV vaccination coverage is warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cervical cancer is a major public health issue in Uganda, with high incidence due to limited screening especially in rural areas. In 2019, HPV DNA testing using GeneXpert was rolled out to improve screening access. Assessing progress and challenges since its introduction is important. AIM To determine genotype distribution and explore health worker experiences with HPV screening using GeneXpert in Uganda. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study where HPV screening data from 66 GeneXpert labs from March 2021-May 2023 country wide was analyzed. We used descriptive statistics to provide percentages and proportions from the data. Seven focus group discussions and five interviews were done with health workers to understand experiences. RESULTS We extracted 24,497 HPV tests that were done, and 39.1% were HPV positive. Other high-risk HPV genotypes were the most common at 65%, followed by HPV 16 (17%) and HPV 18/45 (18%). 15% of the HPV positive cases had more than one genotype. Qualitative findings showed inconsistent health worker knowledge, high workload, and complex care seeking behaviors as main challenges. It also revealed low community awareness, care seeking from traditional healers, CONCLUSION: HPV DNA testing has been expanding since its rollout, but the yield of HPV cases is lower than expected, signaling need to address supply-side challenges. Limited information on HPV among health workers especially community health workers, demand-side barriers like myths, medical pluralism and social norms must also be tackled through trainings of health workers and awareness campaigns engaging communities. Although access to GeneXpert services has increased, health system weaknesses pose bottlenecks to screening HPV. Targeted interventions are required to strengthen HPV diagnosis, prevent cervical cancer and save lives.

Abstract
Improving human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is a national priority but uptake declined following the coronavirus pandemic. A strong predictor of HPV vaccination in the USA is a strong provider recommendation. Therefore, we developed a brief, asynchronous training on HPV vaccine recommendations in clinical and community settings as part of a multisite quality improvement initiative. This paper aims to describe the implementation and initial outcomes of the training provided. A 20-minute training on HPV vaccine bundled recommendations, motivational interviewing, and brief responses to patient concerns (Communicating about HPV vaccination to Adults and Teens; HPV CHAT) was implemented at seven safety-net clinics, two practice-based research network clinics, and nine county immunization clinics. We integrated training with clinical care teams; thus, we assessed immediate training outcomes across their different clinical roles compared to pre-training. In April-May 2022, HPV CHAT training was launched. One hundred eighty-seven people participated in the training and completed the pre-/postevaluation surveys. Knowledge about the HPV vaccine guidelines improved with notable changes in correctly reporting vaccine eligibility (P < .05). A significant change in participants' confidence when addressing safety concerns and answering questions about the HPV vaccine (clinicians, 26.8% and 17.1%; nurses, 29.0% and 23.2%, and clinical staff, 18.2% and 37.7%) was observed. At post-test, more than 85% of clinicians and nurses reported their plan to routinely recommend the HPV vaccine. This quality improvement initiative demonstrated implementation feasibility of a brief HPV vaccine training that improved provider and clinical staff knowledge, confidence, and intention to routinely recommend HPV vaccination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and Human Syncytial Virus (HSV) infection with inflammatory and potentially malignant disorders of the oral cavity (OPMD) is unknown. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to stablish the expression of the p16INK4A and HSV proteins, to test potential correlation between those parameters in biopsies from clinically diagnosed oral lesions. METHODS Immunochemical analysis of 211 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks from 211 individuals was provided. The clinical diagnosis included in the research were Oral lichen planus (N = 30), Oral Leukoplakia (N = 13) Mucocele (N = 25), Erosion/ulceration/ inflammation of mucosa (N = 8), Overgrowth of mucosa (N = 135). RESULTS Two hundred eleven analyzed FFPE samples resulted with the median age of 58.5 years (the average age 54.0 years and SD ± 17 years). The female/male ratio was 2.3 (69.7% vs 30.3% respectively). All the samples positive for HSV also expressed p16INK4A (p = 0.000), that's showed various levels of association with the diverse clinical diagnosis reaching the higher level in OM 49.1% (29 positive samples) and OLP 30.5% (18). p16INK4A was associated with OLP at 30.5% (18), and fibroma 30.5%. HSV expression was mostly present in fibroma at 47.6% (10 positive samples). CONCLUSION HSV and p16INK4A positivity in relation to diagnosis of the biopsies showed statistically most often p16INK4A in OLP and fibroma. The results of co-expression of p16INK4A and HSV in mucocele and fibroma in oral mucosa suggest a cooperation between the molecular alterations induced by these two viruses. Squamous papilloma samples positive for p16INK4A were also positive for HSV, suggesting that the putative pro-oncogenic action of HSV could be an early event.

Abstract
As Norway considers revising triage approaches following their first adolescent cohort with human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination entering the cervical cancer screening program, we analyzed the health impact and cost-effectiveness of alternative primary HPV triage approaches for women initiating cervical cancer screening in 2023. We used a multimodeling approach that captured HPV transmission and cervical carcinogenesis to evaluate the health benefits, harms and cost-effectiveness of alternative extended genotyping and age-based triage strategies under five-yearly primary HPV testing (including the status-quo screening strategy in Norway) for women born in 1998 (ie, age 25 in 2023). We examined 35 strategies that varied alternative groupings of high-risk HPV genotypes ("high-risk" genotypes; "medium-risk" genotypes or "intermediate-risk" genotypes), number and types of HPV included in each group, management of HPV-positive women to direct colposcopy or active surveillance, wait time for re-testing and age at which the HPV triage algorithm switched from less to more intensive strategies. Given the range of benchmarks for severity-specific cost-effectiveness thresholds in Norway, we found that the preferred strategy for vaccinated women aged 25 years in 2023 involved an age-based switch from a less to more intensive follow-up algorithm at age 30 or 35 years with HPV-16/18 genotypes in the "high-risk" group. The two potentially cost-effective strategies could reduce the number of colposcopies compared to current guidelines and simultaneously improve health benefits. Using age to guide primary HPV triage, paired with selective HPV genotype and follow-up time for re-testing, could improve both the cervical cancer program effectiveness and efficiency.

Abstract
PURPOSE The primary objectives were to describe the longitudinal course of sexual health in people undergoing curative (chemo)radiation therapy ([C)RT) for human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPVOPSCC) and identify factors associated with higher sexual satisfaction 12 months after (C)RT. METHODS AND MATERIALS Eligible participants from 3 sites were recruited to a prospective observational study between October 2020 and November 2021. Measures of sexual health (22-item European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Sexual Health Questionnaire), treatment outcome priorities (Chicago Priorities Scale), quality of life (30-item European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire), symptom burden (MD Anderson Symptom Inventory-Head and Neck), emotional distress (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System - Anxiety and Depression), and facial appearance and appearance distress (FACE-Q) were administered before, at the end, and 3 and 12 months after (C)RT. RESULTS Of 128 eligible participants, 100 were recruited; sexual health measure data were available for 89 of 98 patients alive at 12 months. Mean sexual satisfaction scores were 51.8 (SD = 26.6) before (C)RT. Mixed model results indicated a clinically significant reduction in sexual satisfaction by the end of (-25.4; 95% CI, -30.7 to -20.2) and 3 months after CRT (-12.2; -17.3 to -7.0) but not 12 months after CRT (-3.8; 95% CI, -9.0 to 1.4). Of 13 treatment outcome priorities, "keeping sexual function" had a median rank of 10 and 9 before and 12 months after (C)RT, respectively; 24% and 26% identified it as a top priority at these times. Cohabiting, having a sexual partner, being sexually active, higher global health status, lower sexual health issues, lower depression, and considering sexual function a top priority were associated with higher sexual satisfaction scores 12 months after (C)RT. CONCLUSIONS Although affected acutely by (C)RT, average sexual satisfaction returned to near pretreatment levels after 12 months. Sexual function is considered a top survivorship priority by approximately one-quarter of patients with HPVOPSCC.

Abstract
The World Health Organization's global initiative toward eliminating high-risk Human Papillomavirus (hrHPV)-related cancers recommends DNA testing over visual inspection in all settings for primary cancer screening and HPV eradication by 2100. However, multiple hrHPV types cause different types of cancers, and there is a pressing need for an easy-to-use, multiplex point-of-care diagnostic platform for detecting different hrHPV types. Recently, CRISPR-Cas systems have been repurposed for point-of-care detection. Here, we established a CRISPR-Cas multiplexed diagnostic assay (CRISPRD) to detect cervical cancer-causing hrHPVs in one reaction (one-pot assay). We harnessed the compatibility of thermostable AapCas12b, TccCas13a, and HheCas13a nucleases with isothermal amplification and successfully detected HPV16 and HPV18, along with an internal control in a single-pot assay with a limit of detection of 10 copies and 100% specificity. This platform offers a rapid and practical solution for the multiplex detection of hrHPVs, which may facilitate large-scale hrHPV point-of-care screening. Furthermore, the CRISPRD platform programmability enables it to be adapted for the multiplex detection of any two nucleic acid biomarkers as well as internal control.

Abstract
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are commensal viruses with pathogenic potential. Their life cycle requires the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes (KCs) to form pluristratified epithelia. Based on the original organotypic epithelial raft cultures protocol, we provide an updated workflow to optimally generate pluristratified human epithelia supporting the complete HPV replicative life cycle, here called 3D full-thickness epithelial cultures (3Deps). We describe steps for HPV genome preparation, KC transfection, and dermal equivalent preparation. We then detail procedures for 3Deps culture, harvesting, and analysis.

Abstract
As human papillomavirus (HPV) immunisation and HPV-based cervical cancer (CC) screening programmes expand across sub-Saharan Africa, we investigated the potential impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status on high-risk (HR)-HPV distribution among women with CC in Côte d'Ivoire. From July 2018 to June 2020, paraffin-embedded CC specimens diagnosed in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire were systematically collected and tested for HR-HPV DNA. Type-specific HR-HPV prevalence was compared according to HIV status. Of the 170 CC specimens analysed (median age 52 years, interquartile range: [43.0-60.0]), 43 (25.3%) were from women living with HIV (WLHIV) with a median CD4 count of 526 [373-833] cells/mm3 and 86% were on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The overall HR-HPV prevalence was 89.4% [95% CI: 84.7-94.1]. All were single HR-HPV infections with no differences according to HIV status (P = .8). Among HR-HPV-positive CC specimens, the most prevalent HR-HPV types were HPV16 (57.2%), HPV18 (19.7%), HPV45 (8.6%) and HPV35 (4.6%), with no significant differences according to HIV status. Altogether, infection with HPV16/18 accounted for 71.1% [95% CI: 55.9-86.2] of CC cases in WLHIV vs 78.9% [95% CI: 71.3-86.5] in women without HIV (P = .3). The study confirms the major role of HPV16/18 in CC in Côte d'Ivoire and should support a regional scale-up of HPV16/18 vaccination programmes regardless of HIV status. However, vaccines targeting additional HR-HPV types, including HPV45 and HPV35, could further decrease future CC incidence in Côte d'Ivoire, both for WLHIV and women without HIV.

Abstract
As attempting personalized medicine, 3D-printed tissue engineering scaffolds are employed to combine with therapeutic proteins/peptides especially in the clinical treatment of infectious diseases, genetic diseases, and cancers. However, current drug-loading methods, such as immersion and encapsulation, usually lead to the burst release of the drugs. To address these issues, we proposed an integrated strategy toward the long-term controlled release of protein. In this study, patient-customized 3D scaffolds incorporated with drug-loaded microspheres were printed to realize the effective delivery of the anti-human papillomavirus (anti-HPV) protein after cervical conization in the treatment of cervical cancer. The 3D-printed scaffold could provide mechanical support to the defect site and ensure local release of the drug to avoid systemic administration. Meanwhile, microspheres serve as functional components to prevent the inactivation of proteins, as well as regulate their release period to meet the time requirement of different treatment courses. The research also utilized bovine serum albumin as a model protein to validate the feasibility of these scaffolds as a generic technology platform. The bioactivity of the released anti-HPV protein was validated using a pseudovirus model, which demonstrated that the microsphere encapsulation would not cause protein denaturation during the scaffold fabrication process. Besides, 3D-printed scaffolds incorporated with carboxylated chitosan microspheres were biocompatible and beneficial for cell attachment, which have been demonstrated by favorable cell viability and better coverage results for HeLa and HFF-1. This study highlights the great potential of scaffolds incorporated with microspheres to serve as tissue engineering candidate products with the function of effective protein delivery in a long-term controlled manner and personalized shapes for clinical trials.

Abstract
Despite the rising incidence, currently, there are no early detection methods for HPV-driven HNC (HPV-HNC). Cervical cancer studies suggest that HPV DNA methylation changes can be used as a biomarker to discriminate cancer patients from HPV-infected individuals. As such, this study was designed to establish a protocol to evaluate DNA methylation changes in HPV late genes and long control region (LCR) in saliva samples of HPV-HNC patients and HPV-positive controls. Higher methylation levels were detected in HPV late genes (L1 and L2) in both tumour and saliva samples of HPV-HNC patients compared with HPV-positive controls. Moreover, methylation patterns between tumours and corresponding saliva samples were observed to have a strong correlation (Passing-Bablok regression analysis; τ = 0.7483, P < 0.0001). Considering the differences between HNC and controls in methylation levels in late genes, and considering primer amplification efficiencies, 13 CpG sites located at L1 and L2 genes were selected for further evaluation. A total of 18 HNC saliva samples and 10 control saliva samples were assessed for the methylation levels in the selected sites. From the CpG sites evaluated statistically significant differences were identified for CpG sites at L2-CpG 6 (P = 0.0004), L1-CpG 3 (P = 0.0144), L1-CpG 2 (P = 0.0395) and L2-CpG 19 (P = 0.0455). Our pilot data indicate that higher levels of DNA methylation in HPV late genes are indicative of HPV-HNC risk, and it is a potential supplementary biomarker for salivary HPV detection-based HPV-HNC screening.

Abstract
PURPOSE Standard curative-intent chemoradiotherapy for human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal carcinoma results in significant toxicity. Since hypoxic tumors are radioresistant, we posited that the aerobic state of a tumor could identify patients eligible for de-escalation of chemoradiotherapy while maintaining treatment efficacy. METHODS We enrolled patients with HPV-related oropharyngeal carcinoma to receive de-escalated definitive chemoradiotherapy in a phase II study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03323463). Patients first underwent surgical removal of disease at their primary site, but not of gross disease in the neck. A baseline 18F-fluoromisonidazole positron emission tomography scan was used to measure tumor hypoxia and was repeated 1-2 weeks intratreatment. Patients with nonhypoxic tumors received 30 Gy (3 weeks) with chemotherapy, whereas those with hypoxic tumors received standard chemoradiotherapy to 70 Gy (7 weeks). The primary objective was achieving a 2-year locoregional control (LRC) of 95% with a 7% noninferiority margin. RESULTS One hundred fifty-eight patients with T0-2/N1-N2c were enrolled, of which 152 patients were eligible for analyses. Of these, 128 patients met criteria for 30 Gy and 24 patients received 70 Gy. The 2-year LRC was 94.7% (95% CI, 89.8 to 97.7), meeting our primary objective. With a median follow-up time of 38.3 (range, 22.1-58.4) months, the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 94% and 100%, respectively, for the 30-Gy cohort. The 70-Gy cohort had similar 2-year PFS and OS rates at 96% and 96%, respectively. Acute grade 3-4 adverse events were more common in 70 Gy versus 30 Gy (58.3% v 32%; P = .02). Late grade 3-4 adverse events only occurred in the 70-Gy cohort, in which 4.5% complained of late dysphagia. CONCLUSION Tumor hypoxia is a promising approach to direct dosing of curative-intent chemoradiotherapy for HPV-related carcinomas with preserved efficacy and substantially reduced toxicity that requires further investigation.

Abstract
Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is the primary and initiating factor for cervical cancer. With over 200 identified HPV types, including 14 high-risk types that integrate into the host cervical epithelial cell DNA, early determination of HPV infection type is crucial for effective risk stratification and management. Presently, on-site immediate testing during the HPV screening stage, known as Point of Care Testing (POCT), remains immature, severely limiting the scope and scenarios of HPV screening. This study, guided by the genomic sequence patterns of HPV, established a multiplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technology based on the concept of "universal primers." This approach achieved the multiple amplification of RPA, coupled with the CRISPR/Cas12a system serving as a medium for signal amplification and conversion. The study successfully constructed a POCT combined detection system, denoted as H-MRC12a (HPV-Multiple RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a), and applied it to high-risk HPV typing detection. The system accomplished the typing detection of six high-risk HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, and 45) can be completed within 40 min, and the entire process, from sample loading to result interpretation, can be accomplished within 45 min, with a detection depth reaching 1 copy/μL for each high-risk type. Validation of the H-MRC12a detection system's reproducibility and specificity was further conducted through QPCR on 34 clinical samples. Additionally, this study explored and optimized the multiplex RPA amplification system and CRISPR system at the molecular mechanism level. Furthermore, the primer design strategy developed in this study offers the potential to enhance the throughput of H-MRC12a detection while ensuring sensitivity, providing a novel research avenue for high-throughput detection in Point-of-Care molecular pathogen studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection, attributed to 4.5% of all cancers worldwide. Co-infection with the metabolic syndrome (MetS), a common cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors, has been shown to increase the persistence of HPV. The purpose of this study was to estimate the association between HPV and MetS on mortality risk. METHODS Data for the current study was drawn from seven consecutive cycles (2003-2004 to 2015-2016) of the U.S. NHANES. The final analytic sample consisted of 5,101 individuals aged 18-65y with HPV and MetS information with follow-up to Dec. 31st, 2019. Baseline HPV status was assessed by either vaginal swab, penile swab or oral rinse and used to classify participants as: no HPV (n = 1,619), low (n = 1,138), probable (n = 672), and high-risk (n = 1,672; 22% type 16, and 10% type 18) HPV using IARC criteria. MetS was assessed by the Harmonized criteria. RESULTS The average follow-up was 9.4 y with 240 all-cause deaths (no HPV: n = 46 deaths; low-risk: n = 60 deaths; probable: n = 37 deaths, and; high-risk: n = 97 deaths). HPV status alone revealed no associations with mortality in fully adjusted models. Cross-classification into discrete MetS/HPV strata yielded an increased risk of mortality in females with high-risk HPV/MetS relative to the no MetS/no HPV group. CONCLUSIONS In this study, low, probable, and high-risk HPV and MetS were differentially related to mortality risk in men and women. Further work is necessary to separate the temporal, age, vaccination, and sex effects of HPV diagnosis in these relationships using prospective studies with detailed histories of HPV infection and persistence.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus type 8 (HPV8), a cutaneous genus beta HPV type, has co-carcinogenic potential at sun-exposed sites in patients suffering from the inherited skin disease epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV). We had previously shown that Langerhans cells responsible for epithelial immunosurveillance were strongly reduced at infected sites and that the HPV8 E7 protein interferes with the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP)β to suppress the Langerhans cell chemokine CCL20. At the same time, however, we observed that EV lesions are heavily infiltrated with inflammatory immune cells, which is similar to the situation in HPV8 E6 transgenic mice. To identify critical inflammatory factors, we used a broad multiplex approach and found that the monocyte attracting chemokine CCL2 was significantly and strongly induced by HPV8 E6 but not E7-expressing HaCaT cells, which were used as a model for UV-damaged skin keratinocytes. Conditioned media from HPV8 E6-expressing keratinocytes enhanced CCL2-receptor (CCR2)-dependent monocyte recruitment in vitro, and macrophages predominated in the stroma but were also detected in the epidermal compartment of EV lesions in vivo. CCL2 induction by HPV8 E6 was even stronger than stimulation with the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α, and both HPV8 E6 and TNF-α resulted in substantial suppression of the transcription factor C/EBPα. Using RNAi-mediated knockdown and overexpression approaches, we demonstrated a mechanistic role of the recently identified C/EBPα/miR-203/p63 pathway for HPV8 E6-mediated CCL2 induction at protein and transcriptional levels. Epithelial co-expression of p63 and CCL2 was confirmed in HPV8 E6-expressing organotypic air-liquid interface cultures and in lesional EV epidermis in vivo. In summary, our data demonstrate that HPV8 oncoproteins actively deregulate epidermal immune homeostasis through modulation of C/EBP factor-dependent pathways. While HPV8 E7 suppresses immunosurveillance required for viral persistence, the present study provides evidence that E6 involves the stemness-promoting factor p63 to support an inflammatory microenvironment that may fuel carcinogenesis in EV lesions.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a double-stranded DNA virus that infects cutaneous and mucosal epithelial cells. HPV replication initiates at the origin (ori), located within a noncoding region near the major early promoter. Only two viral proteins, E1 and E2, are essential for replication, with the host cell contributing other necessary factors. However, the role of host cell proteins in regulating HPV replication remains poorly understood. While several binding sites for cellular transcription factors (TFs), such as POU-HD proteins, have been mapped in the regulatory region, their functional importance is unclear. Some POU-HD TFs have been shown to influence replication in a system where E1 and E2 are provided exogenously. In this study, we investigated the impact of several POU-HD TFs on the replication of the HPV5, HPV11, and HPV18 genomes in U2OS cells and human primary keratinocytes. We demonstrated that OCT1, OCT6, BRN5A, and SKN1A are expressed in HPV host cells and that their overexpression inhibits HPV genome replication, whereas knocking down OCT1 had a positive effect. Using the replication-deficient HPV18-E1- genome, we demonstrated that OCT1-mediated inhibition of HPV replication involves modulation of HPV early promoters controlling E1 and E2 expression. Moreover, using Oct6 mutants deficient either in DNA binding or transcriptional regulation, we showed that the inhibition of HPV18 replication is solely dependent on Oct6's DNA binding activity. Our study highlights the complex regulatory roles of POU-HD factors in the HPV replication.

Abstract
We intended to update human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and p16INK4a positivity in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomars (SCC), and calculate HPV attributable fraction (AF) for oropharyngeal SCC by geographic region. We searched Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to identify published studies of HPV prevalence and p16INK4a positivity alone or together in oropharyngeal SCC before December 28, 2021. Studies that reported type-specific HPV DNA prevalence using broad-spectrum PCR-based testing methods were included. We estimated pooled HPV prevalence, type-specific HPV prevalence, and p16INK4a positivity. AF of HPV was calculated by geographic region. One hundred and thirty-four studies including 12 139 cases were included in our analysis. The pooled HPV prevalence estimate for oropharyngeal SCC was 48.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 43.2-53.0). HPV prevalence varied significantly by geographic region, and the highest HPV prevalence in oropharyngeal SCC was noted in North America (72.6%, 95% CI 63.8-80.6). Among HPV positive cases, HPV 16 was the most common type with a prevalence of 40.2% (95% CI 35.7-44.7). The pooled p16INK4a positivity in HPV positive and HPV16 positive oropharyngeal SCC cases was 87.2% (95% CI 81.6-91.2) and 91.7% (84.3-97.2). The highest AFs of HPV and HPV16 were noted in North America at 69.6% (95% CI 53.0-91.5) and 63.0% (48.0-82.7). [Correction added on 31 October 2023, after first online publication: the percentage symbol (%) was missing and has been added to 63.0% (48.0-82.7) in the Abstract and Conclusion.] A significant proportion of oropharyngeal SCC was attributable to HPV. HPV16 accounts for the majority of HPV positive oropharyngeal SCC cases. These findings highlight the importance of HPV vaccination in the prevention of a substantial proportion of oropharyngeal SCC cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To estimate the prevalence and dynamics of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, over a 5-year period, among Saudi women. METHODS A 2-phase, population-based study combining cross-sectional and cohort designs was carried out with 5360 ever-married women aged 30-65 from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between 2013 and 2018. Participants were enrolled in a designated screening program and screened using the hybrid capture 2 HPV test. Women testing positive for HPV were followed up after one year to estimate the HPV clearance rate, while those testing negative had a follow-up after 5 years to assess new HPV infections. Factors associated with HPV positivity and clearance, including sociodemographic and clinical aspects, were analyzed. RESULTS Participant's mean age was 44.3 and the average marriage duration was 22.6 years. The initial HPV prevalence was 4.7%. After one year, the HPV clearance rate among initially positive women was 84.3%. The rate of new HPV infections among initially negative women after 5 years was 0.2%, resulting in a cumulative HPV prevalence of 5% over the study period. The incidence rate was estimated at 47 per 100,000 person-years. Parity was the only independent factor inversely associated with HPV positivity, with an odds ratio of 0.93 (95% confidence interval: 0.8 - 0.99). CONCLUSION The prevalence of HPV in Saudi women was relatively low, suggesting a low transmission rate of HPV. This finding indicates the need for continuous monitoring and tailored prevention strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To understand the utility of circulating tumor human papillomavirus DNA (ctHPVDNA) blood testing for HPV-associated oropharynx squamous cell carcinoma (HPV + OPSCC) after definitive surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective cohort study of HPV(+)OPSCC patients with ctHPVDNA test data to assess its accuracy in detecting biopsy-confirmed disease at various post-treatment time points. Eligible patients had p16(+)/HPV(+) OPSCC and ctHPVDNA testing performed at any time pre-operatively and/or postoperatively. In cases of recurrence, patients were excluded from analysis if ctHPVDNA testing was not performed within 6 months of biopsy. RESULTS 196 all-treatment-type patients had at least one PT ctHPVDNA test. The initial post-treatment (PT) ctHPVDNA sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 69.2 % (9/13), 96.7 % (177/183), 60.0 % (9/15), and 97.8 % (177/181). 61 surgery alone (SA) patients underwent 128 PT tests. The initial PT SA ctHPVDNA sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 100 % (2/2), 96.0 % (48/50), 50 % (2/4), and 100 % (48/48). 35 of 61 (57.4 %) SA patients had NCCN-based histopathologic indications for adjuvant (chemo)radiation but declined. 3 of 35 (8.57 %) had a positive PT ctHPVDNA test of which 1 of 3 (33 %) had biopsy-proven recurrence. Prospectively, ten patients had a PreT positive ctHPVDNA, underwent SA, refused adjuvant treatment, had an undetectable ctHPVDNA within 2 weeks of SA, and remained free of disease (mean 10.3 months). CONCLUSION The high specificity and NPV of ctHPVDNA after SA suggest ctHPVDNA may have a role in determining the omission of PT adjuvant (chemo)radiation in select patients.

Abstract
Cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is believed to increase the risks of pregnancy failure and abortion, however, whether the uterine cavity HPV infection reduces pregnancy rate or increases miscarriage rate remains unclarified in infertile women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment. Therefore, we aimed to assess ART outcomes in the presence of intrauterine HPV. This was a hospital-based multicenter (five reproductive medicine centers) matched cohort study. This study involved 4153 infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment in five reproductive medicine centers between October 2018 and 2020. The spent embryo transfer media sample with endometrium tissue were collected and performed with flow-through hybridization and gene chips to detect HPV DNA. According to basic characteristics, HPV-positive and negative patients were matched in a ratio of 1:4 by age, body mass index transfer timing, transfer type, and number of embryos transferred. The primary outcome was pregnancy and clinical miscarriage rates in the transfer cycle underwent HPV detection. 92 HPV-positive and 368 HPV-negative patients were screened and analyzed statistically. Univariate analysis showed uterine cavity HPV infection resulted in lower rates of ongoing pregnancy (31.5% vs. 44.6%; p = 0.023), implantation (32.3% vs. 43.1%; p = 0.026), biochemical pregnancy (47.8% vs. 62.5%; p = 0.010), and clinical pregnancy (40.2% vs. 54.3%; p = 0.015) compared with HPV negative group. The infertile female with positive HPV also had a slightly higher frequency of biochemical miscarriage (15.9% vs. 13.0%; p = 0.610) and clinical miscarriage (24.3% vs. 15.5%; p = 0.188). These findings suggest that HPV infection in the uterine cavity is a high risk for ART failure. HPV screening is recommended before ART treatment, which may be benefit to improving pregnancy outcome.

Abstract
With the rising need for accessible cervical cancer screening, self-sampling methods offer a promising alternative to traditional physician-led sampling. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the HygeiaTouch Self Sampling Kit for Women in detecting human papillomavirus (HPV) types and predicting cervical lesions. We studied the concordance in identifying high-risk HPV (hrHPV) types between samples collected by physicians and those self-collected by women using a self-sampling kit for validation. Women aged 21-65, fitting into specific categories based on their cervical health history were eligible. Cohen's kappa coefficient to gauge concordance between the two specimen types and relative accuracy metrics in identifying cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) were also calculated, with physician-sampled specimens serving as a reference. A total of 1210 participants from three institutes were involved. The self-sampling kit closely matched the physician-led method in terms of collecting valid specimens (100% vs. 100%), identifying hrHPV types (kappa: 0.75, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.72-0.79; agreement: 87.7%, 95% CI: 85.8-89.6) and predicting CIN grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) (relative sensitivity: 0.949, relative accuracy: 0.959). Kappa values varied between 0.71 and 0.83 for different hrHPV types and combinations, with an overall value 0.75 (95% CI: 0.72-0.79) signifying robust compatibility between the two methods. Our study underscores the potential of the HygeiaTouch Self Sampling Kit as a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly alternative to traditional sampling methods. This suggests that self-sampling could be pivotal in expanding cervical cancer screening accessibility and enhancing detection rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The addition of p16/Ki-67 dual immunostaining to human papilloma virus (HPV) screening tests has been shown to increase the detection rate of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of p16/Ki67 dual staining in the detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 (CIN2+) in women with high-risk HPV infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2017 and August 2019 at the Chulabhorn Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Women aged 20-70 years who underwent co-testing and tested positive for high-risk (HR) HPV (N = 215) were invited to participate in the study. P16/Ki67 testing was performed on residual cytological materials. Colposcopic biopsies were performed on all patients, and the results were correlated with positive or negative p16/Ki-67 test results. RESULTS The sensitivity and specificity of p16/Ki-67 dual staining in the detection of CIN2+ in the women with HR HPV infection were 74.4 % and 63.4 %, respectively. Compared with liquid-based cytology (LBC), p16/Ki67 cytology had similar sensitivity (p = 1.000) and specificity (p = 0.561) to LBC for detecting CIN2+. CONCLUSION In this study, p16/Ki67 dual staining in HPV triage demonstrated a test performance similar to that of LBC.

Abstract
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most frequently diagnosed viruses in developing countries. Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is an important cofactor in HPV-induced cervical cancer. Cervico-uterine smears were taken for cytology, and a total of 131 samples were analysed. HPV prevalence and CT were detected using specific primers (L1 gene and omp-1 gene). 23 (17.5 %) HPV-only samples were detected, CT-only positives were 10 (7.6 %). And HPV/CT co-infection was 13 (9.9 %). Identified risk factors associated with HPV/CT co-infection were risky sexual behaviour and cytology status. The prevalence of HPV and CT and their co-infection rates being high in our study population, may be an indicator of cervical cancer risk. Consequently, there is an urgent need to raise awareness and take appropriate precautions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The incidence of human papillomavirus positive oropharyngeal cancer (HPV+OPC) is increasing, and new biomarkers are required to better define prognostic groups and guide treatment. Infiltrating T cells have been well studied in head and neck cancer, however the presence and role of B cells and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in the tumor microenvironment has not, even though the interplay between T and B cells is increasingly being recognised. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using CD20 immunohistochemistry (IHC) to identify B cells and TLS in a cohort of 159 HPV + OPC patients, we semi-quantitatively scored abundance and location (intra-tumoral or stromal) and correlated findings with patient survival. RESULTS 32% (51/157) of patients had high intra-tumoral (IT) abundance of CD20+ B cells (≥5%) and this was prognostic for improved overall survival (OS) with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 0.2 (95 % CI 0.0-0.7, p = 0.014). We validated our results in an independent cohort comprising 171 HPV + OPC where 14% (23/171) were IT CD20+ high, again showing improved survival with an adjusted HR for OS of 0.2 (95 % CI 0.0-1.4, p = 0.003). Neither stromal abundance nor the presence of TLS were prognostic in either cohort. B cells were subtyped by multispectral IHC, identifying CD20+CD27+ cells, consistent with memory B cells, as the predominant subtype. Combined with validated biomarker CD103, a marker of tissue-resident memory T cells, IT CD20+ B cells abundance was able to prognostically stratify patients further. CONCLUSIONS CD20+ B cell abundance has the potential to be used as a biomarker to identify good and poor prognosis HPV + OPC patients.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers, including oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV + OPSCC), cervical cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (HPV + SCCA), release circulating tumor HPV DNA (ctHPVDNA) into the blood. The diagnostic performance of ctHPVDNA detection depends on the approaches used and the individual assay metrics. A comparison of these approaches has not been systematically performed to inform expected performance, which in turn affects clinical interpretation. A meta-analysis was performed using Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection databases to assess the diagnostic accuracy of ctHPVDNA detection across cancer anatomic sites, detection platforms, and blood components. The population included patients with HPV + OPSCC, HPV-associated cervical cancer, and HPV + SCCA with pretreatment samples analyzed by quantitative PCR (qPCR), digital droplet PCR (ddPCR), or next-generation sequencing (NGS). Thirty-six studies involving 2986 patients met the inclusion criteria. The sensitivity, specificity, and quality of each study were assessed and pooled for each analysis. The sensitivity of ctHPVDNA detection was greatest with NGS, followed by ddPCR and then qPCR when pooling all studies, whereas specificity was similar (sensitivity: ddPCR > qPCR, P < 0.001; NGS > ddPCR, P = 0.014). ctHPVDNA from OPSCC was more easily detected compared with cervical cancer and SCCA, overall (P = 0.044). In conclusion, detection platform, anatomic site of the cancer, and blood component used affects ctHPVDNA detection and must be considered when interpreting results. Plasma NGS-based testing may be the most sensitive approach for ctHPVDNA overall.

Abstract
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is responsible for more than 80% of reported cervical cancer and other virus-associated tumours. Although this global threat can be controlled using effective vaccination strategies, a growing perturbation of HPV infection is an emerging coinfection likely to increase the severity of the infection in humans. Moreover, these coinfections prolong the HPV infections, thereby risking the chances for oncogenic progression. The present review consolidated the clinically significant microbial coinfections/co-presence associated with HPV and their underlying molecular mechanisms. We discussed the gaps and concerns associated with demography, present vaccination strategies, and other prophylactic limitations. We concluded our review by highlighting the potential clinical as well as emerging computational intervention measures to kerb down HPV-associated severities.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Self-sampling for human papillomavirus testing is increasingly recognized as a strategy to expand cervical cancer screening access and utilization. Acceptability is a key determinant of uptake. This study assesses the acceptability of and experiences with mailed self-sampling kits for human papillomavirus testing among underscreened patients in a safety net health system. METHODS A nested telephone survey was administered between 2021 and 2023 to a sample (n=272) of the 2,268 participants enrolled in the Prospective Evaluation of Self-Testing to Increase Screening trial. Trial participants include patients of a safety net health system aged 30-65 years who were not up to date on screening. Participants were asked about barriers to provider-performed screening. Kit users and nonusers were asked about their experiences. RESULTS Prevalent barriers to provider-performed screening included perceived discomfort of pelvic examination (69.4%), being uncomfortable with male providers (65.4%), and embarrassment (57.0%). Among participants who reported using the mailed kit (n=164), most reported good experiences (84.8%). Most reported self-sampling as more/equally convenient (89.0%), less/equally embarrassing (99.4%), and less/equally stressful (95.7%) than provider-performed screening. Among kit nonusers (n=43), reasons for not using the kit included forgetting about it (76.7%), preferring provider-performed screening (76.7%), and fearing cancer (67.4%). CONCLUSIONS Prospective Evaluation of Self-Testing to Increase Screening trial participants generally had a positive experience with self-sampling for human papillomavirus testing. Increased comfort and reduced embarrassment/anxiety with self-sampling are relevant attributes because these were the most prevalent reported barriers to provider-performed screening. High acceptability suggests potentially high uptake when self-sampling for human papillomavirus testing receives regulatory approval and is available in safety net health systems.

Abstract
The Korean Association of Urogenital Tract Infection and Inflammation (KAUTII) and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency updated the guidelines for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine against sexually transmitted HPV infections in Korea to respond to changing epidemiologic trends, evolving scientific evidence, and advances in laboratory diagnostics and research. Main purpose and recommendation of vaccination against HPV are as follows: (1) the purpose of HPV vaccine is to reduce the risk of genital warts and HPV-related cancers including cervical and vulvar cancer, head and neck cancer, anal cancer, and penile cancer; (2) in Korea, bivalent (16, 18) vaccines, quadrivalent vaccines (6, 11, 16, 18), and 9-valent vaccines (6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58) are used depending on the type of HPV; (3) bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines are national immunizations targeting girls aged 11-12 years and low-income young females aged 18-26 years (age and range of inoculation: routinely administered at 11 or 12 years of age, 2 doses at 0 and 6 months for 12-14 years of age; for females aged 15-26 years, 3 doses depending on the type of vaccine; vaccination can be given to those aged up to 45 years through consultation with a clinician); (4) in the case of administering 2 doses, at least 5 months apart; in the case of administering 3 doses, it is recommended to keep 4 weeks between the 1st and 2nd doses, 12 weeks between the 2nd and 3rd doses, and 5 months between the 1st and 3rd doses; (5) immunocompromised patients such as those with HIV, malignant neoplasms, and autoimmune diseases, and those undergoing transplantation or immunosuppressive therapy should receive 3 doses. HPV vaccine is not recommended during pregnancy.

Abstract
The detection of high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is crucial for early screening and preventing cervical cancer. However, the substantial workload in high-level hospitals or the limited resources in primary-level hospitals hinder widespread testing. To address this issue, we explored a sample-to-answer genotyping system and assessed its performance by comparing it with the traditional real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method conducted manually. Samples randomly selected from those undergoing routine real-time PCR detection were re-analyzed using the fully automatic GenPlex® system. This system identifies 24 types of HPV through a combination of ordinary PCR and microarray-based reverse hybridization. Inconsistent results were confirmed by repeated testing with both methods, and the κ concordance test was employed to evaluate differences between the two methods. A total of 365 samples were randomly selected from 7259 women. According to real-time PCR results, 76 were high-risk HPV negative, and 289 were positive. The GenPlex® system achieved a κ value greater than 0.9 (ranging from 0.920 to 1.000, p < 0.0001) for 14 types of high-risk HPV, except HPV 51 (κ = 0.697, p < 0.0001). However, the inconsistent results in high-risk HPV 51 were revealed to be false positive in real-time PCR by other method. When counting by samples without discriminating the high-risk HPV type, the results of both methods were entirely consistent (κ = 1.000, p < 0.0001). Notably, the GenPlex® system identified more positive cases, with 73 having an HPV type not covered by real-time PCR, and 20 potentially due to low DNA concentration undetectable by the latter. Compared with the routinely used real-time PCR assay, the GenPlex® system demonstrated high consistency. Importantly, the system's advantages in automatic operation and a sealed lab-on-chip format respectively reduce manual work and prevent aerosol pollution. For widespread use of GenPlex® system, formal clinical validation following international criteria should be warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human papillomavirus (HPV) integration can induce gene expression dysregulation by destroying higher-order chromatin structure in cervical cancer. OBJECTIVES We established a 13q22 site-specific HPV16 gene knock-in cell model to interrogate the changes in chromatin structure at the initial stages of host cell malignant transformation. METHODS We designed a CRISPR-Cas9 system with sgRNA targeting 13q22 site and constructed the HPV16 gene donor. Cells were cotransfected, screened, and fluorescence sorted. The whole genome sequencing (WGS) was used to confirm the precise HPV16 gene integration site. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to measure gene expression. In vitro and in vivo analysis were performed to estimate the tumorigenic potential of the HPV16 knock-in cell model. Combined Hi-C, chromatin immunoprecipitation and RNA sequencing analyses revealed correlations between chromatin structure and gene expression. We performed a coimmunoprecipitation assay with anti-PIBF1 antibody to identify endogenous interacting proteins. In vivo analysis was used to determine the role of PIBF1 in the tumor growth of cervical cancer cells. RESULTS We successfully established a 13q22 site-specific HPV16 gene knock-in cell model. We found that HPV integration promoted cell proliferation, invasion and stratified growth in vitro, and monoclonal proliferation in vivo. HPV integration divided the affected topologically associated domain (TAD) into two smaller domains, and the progesterone-induced blocking factor 1 (PIBF1) gene near the integration site was upregulated, although PIBF1 was not enriched at the domain boundary by CUT-Tag signal analysis. Moreover, PIBF1 was found to interact with the cohesin complex off chromatin to reduce contact domain formation by disrupting the cohesin ring-shaped structure, causing dysregulation of tumorigenesis-related genes. Xenograft experiments determined the role of PIBF1 in the proliferation in cervical cancer cells. CONCLUSION We highlight that PIBF1, a potential chromatin structure regulatory protein, is activated by HPV integration, which provides new insights into HPV integration-driven cervical carcinogenesis.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues may identify the cause of lesions and has value for the development of new diagnostic assays and epidemiologic studies. Seegene Anyplex II assays are widely used for HPV screening, but their performance using FFPE samples has not been fully explored. OBJECTIVE.— To validate Anyplex II HPV HR Detection (Anyplex II, Seegene) using FFPE samples. DESIGN.— We used 248 stored DNA extracts from cervical cancer FFPE samples collected during 2005-2015 that tested HPV positive using the RHA kit HPV SPF10-LiPA25, v1 (SPF10, Labo Biomedical Products) HPV genotyping assay, manufacturer-validated for FFPE samples. RESULTS.— Of the selected 248 samples, 243 were used in our analysis. Consistent with SPF10 genotyping results, Anyplex II detected all 12 oncogenic types and had an overall HPV detection rate of 86.4% (210 of 243 samples). Anyplex II and SPF10 showed very high agreement for the detection of the 2 most important oncogenic genotypes: HPV 16 (219 of 226; 96.9%; 95% CI, 93.7-98.75) and HPV 18 (221 of 226; 97.8%; 95% CI, 94.9-99.3). CONCLUSIONS.— Overall results showed that both platforms produced comparable HPV genotyping results, indicating the suitability of Anyplex II for FFPE samples. The Anyplex II assay has the added convenience of being an efficient, single-well semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. Further optimization of Anyplex II may enhance its performance using FFPE samples by improving the detection limit.
