Gary M. Clifford,Silvano Gallus,Rolando Herrero,Nubia Muñoz,Peter J.F. Snijders,Salvatore Vaccarella,P. T H Anh,Catterina Ferreccio,Nguyen Trong Hieu,Elena Matos,Mónica Molano,R. Rajkumar,Guglielmo Ronco,S de Sanjosé,Hai-Rim Shin,Sukhon Sukvirach,Jaiyeola Thomas,S. Tunsakul,Chris J. L. M. Meijer,Silvia Franceschi +19 more
TL;DR: Heterogeneity in HPV type distribution among women from different populations should be taken into account when developing screening tests for the virus and predicting the effect of vaccines on the incidence of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence, Duration, and Determinants of Cervical Human Papillomavirus Infection in a Cohort of Colombian Women with Normal Cytological Results
Nubia Muñoz,Fabián Méndez,Heéctor Posso,Mónica Molano,Adrian J. C. van den Brule,Margarita Ronderos,Chris J. L. M. Meijer,Alvaro Muñoz +7 more
TL;DR: In this cohort of cytologically normal women, the incidence of cervical HPV infection was high, and the epidemiological profile of high-risk HPV types was different from that of low-risk types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thomas,Chris J.L.M. Meijer,Nubia Muñoz +20 more
TL;DR: The substantial differences observed in age‐specific curves of HPV prevalence between populations may have a variety of explanations, however, underline that great caution should be used in inferring the natural history of HPV from age-specific prevalences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of Clearance of Human Papillomavirus Infections in Colombian Women with Normal Cytology: A Population-based, 5-Year Follow-up Study
Mónica Molano,Adriaan J. C. van den Brule,Martyn Plummer,Elisabete Weiderpass,Héctor Posso,Annie Arslan,Chris J. L. M. Meijer,Nubia Muñoz,Silvia Franceschi +8 more
TL;DR: Infections with single and multiple HPV types had similar clearance rates and there was no evidence of a dose-response relation between clearance and viral load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and determinants of HPV infection among Colombian women with normal cytology
Mónica Molano,Héctor Posso,Elisabete Weiderpass,A. J. C. Van Den Brule,Margarita Ronderos,Silvia Franceschi,Chris J. L. M. Meijer,Annie Arslan,Nubia Muñoz +8 more
TL;DR: There was a broad diversity of human papillomavirus infections with high risk types being the most common types detected in this population multiplicity of sexual partners and, among young women, high educational level and casual sexual partners seem to determine risk.
