Cet article présente la mise à jour des recommandations de l'"Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)" relatives à la vaccination contre le papillomavirus humain
Human papillomavirus is a highly prevalent sexually transmitted infection. Prior to vaccination programs, 1 large study of US female individuals documented an overall HPV prevalence of 26.8%, with the highest prevalence of 44.8% in women aged 20 to 24 years. Although many HPV infections are transient and asymptomatic, HPV types 6 and 11 cause about 90% of genital warts. Types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 are considered high-risk oncogenic types and are responsible for an estimated 44 000 US cases of cancer each year. HPV causes 90% of US cervical cancers and 70% of US oropharyngeal cancers, and less commonly, anal, vaginal, vulvar, and penile cancer.
