The Indigenous Australian Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Cohort Study 2, Continuation for 5 to 10 Years: Protocol for a Longitudinal Study

The Indigenous Australian Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Cohort Study 2, Continuation for 5 to 10 Years: Protocol for a Longitudinal Study

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a heterogeneous group of circular, double-stranded DNA viruses that grow in stratified epithelium (skin and mucosa). Prior to the implementation of vaccination, HPV was the most common sexually transmitted infection in Australia, with an estimated 4 out of 5 Australians having an HPV infection at some point in their lives [1]. HPV is a precursor to a range of cancers, including cervical cancer, other anogenital cancers, and oropharyngeal cancer.

Human Papillomavirus and Oropharyngeal Cancer Among Indigenous Australians: Protocol for a Prevalence Study of Oral-Related Human Papillomavirus and Cost-Effectiveness of Prevention

Human Papillomavirus and Oropharyngeal Cancer Among Indigenous Australians: Protocol for a Prevalence Study of Oral-Related Human Papillomavirus and Cost-Effectiveness of Prevention

These HPVs are a precursor to a range of cancers in both females and males (particularly cervical cancer, other anogenital cancers and oropharyngeal cancer) and are usually acquired within 2-5 years of commencing sexual activity [2]. Preventing such HPV infections is a public health priority to reduce cancer and HPV-associated complications [3].
