“…Nosocomial transmission of the HPV is also possible which may occur during the use of transvaginal ultrasound probe which is commonly used in the Obstetrics & Gynaecology departments where the probe is placed very close to the cervix which may act as a pathway of infection [56]. Like the instruments used in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department, flexible endoscopes used in otolaryngology may also serve as a source of infection in the oral region [58]. 3% of the probes were found to be positive for HPV DNA after examination and 1.9% were found to be positive in pre-examination samples [59].…”

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one the most common sexually transmitted infections (STI), spreading through direct sexual contact to oropharynx and anogenital regions. Although most infected individuals may be asymptomatic and naturally undergo viral clearance, in some individuals’ HPV infection causes carcinogenesis of the infected epithelia. HPV now accounts for over 70% of oropharyngeal carcinomas (OPC). Over 90% of these OPC are associated with HPV 16, one of the 14 high-risk subtypes. In recent years, HPV positive (HPV+) OPC has been one of the most rapidly rising cancers, by new cancer incidence rates, especially among men. They present some unique infection driven cellular and molecular features, in comparison to other head and neck carcinomas (HNC), constituting distinct preventive, therapeutic and prognostic strategies - with significant strides made in this area. However, HPV+OPC are routinely detected at a later stage, adding to the disease burden and overall survival. In this review, we provide a summary of HPV from a STI to malignant transformation, while also parsing through the immune response environment. We further collate key literature around infection sites, diagnostics and clinical management, while throwing light on the current state of epidemiology, transmission, screening and prevention strategies. Indeed, our improving understanding of the disease’s molecular biology has added some success to the prognostic outcomes of certain HPV+OPC across clinical trials examining targeted therapeutics and immunotherapy. This work is directed towards improving our current understanding of HPV and associated oncogenic landscape, to guide screening, early detection, triaging and further prevention and management strategies.

“…Tucker et al concluded current endoscope reprocessing methods do not eliminate human papillomavirus (HPV) and may allow it to be transmitted from carriers to other otolaryngology clinic patients. The authors suggested that orthophthalaldehyde (OPA) high‐level disinfectant (HLD) “may not be fully effective at removing HPV from endoscopes.” 1 We believe the evidence does not support their conclusions, and we are concerned that problems with study design and reprocessing quality may have contributed to erroneous conclusions.…”

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the thoughts and attitudes of young adults about HPV and HPV vaccines. Methods: This study was planned as a cross-sectional study to determine the knowledge levels and attitudes of young people living in a settlement in the middle of Turkey about the HPV vaccine. The research was conducted with 870 young adults between 1-30 November 2022. Results: The average age of the young people participating in the study was 20.49 ± 2.15 years, 60.9% of them were male. 61% have not heard of the PAP-Smear test before, 51.3% do not know what HPV is, only 17.7% have HPV by vaccination, 8% have HPV vaccine, 24.75% 37.9% of them stated that they wanted to have the HPV vaccine and that the HPV vaccine should be free of charge. Conclusion: It was determined that the knowledge level of young adults about HPV and HPV vaccine, in general, was very low, only one out of four people wanted to be vaccinated against HPV, and the rate of vaccination was very low. Even if the vaccine is free in our country, it is thought that the vaccination rates will be low.
