TLDR
Sexually transmitted infections are common in the United States, with a disproportionate burden among young adolescents and adults, and public health efforts should focus on prevention among at-risk populations to reduce the number and impact of STIs.Abstract:
BackgroundMost sexually active people will be infected with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) at some point in their lives. The number of STIs in the United States was previously estimated in 2000. We updated previous estimates to reflect the number of STIs for calendar year 2008.MethodsWe reviread more

TL;DR: Binformatics analyses of human HPV(+) HNSCCs revealed that all tumors express full-length E6 and identified molecular subtypes based on relative E 6 and E7 expression levels and generated a genetically engineered mouse model whereby balanced expression of E6/E7 is directed to the oropharyngeal epithelium.

"I think they're all basically the same": parents' perceptions of human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine compared with other adolescent vaccines.
Adedotun Ogunbajo,Caitlin E. Hansen,Anna North,E. Okoloko,Linda M. Niccolai,Linda M. Niccolai +5 more
TL;DR: Overall, most participants viewed the HPV vaccine in a positive light and similar to other adolescent vaccines with the added benefit of cancer prevention and strategies that treat all three vaccines equally such as presenting them similarly as a 'bundle' to parents might help increase raise coverage for HPV vaccine.

Sexually transmitted diseases among American youth: incidence and prevalence estimates, 2000.
TL;DR: Three STDs accounted for 88% of all new cases of STD among 15-24-year-olds in 2000 and emphasize the toll that STDs have on American youth.

H. Irene Hall,Ruiguang Song,Philip Rhodes,Joseph Prejean,Qian An,Lisa M. Lee,John M. Karon,Ron Brookmeyer,Edward H. Kaplan,Matthew T. McKenna,Robert S. Janssen +10 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first direct estimates of HIV incidence in the United States using laboratory technologies previously implemented only in clinic-based settings and indicated that HIV incidence increased in the mid-1990s, then slightly declined after 1999 and has been stable thereafter.

TL;DR: Persistent infection with HR-HPVs is now unequivocally established as a necessary cause of cervical cancer and is likely to be responsible for a substantial proportion of other anogenital neoplasms and upper aero-digestive tract cancers.

Epidemiology of Genital Human Papillomavirus Infection
TL;DR: Strong epidemiologic and molecular data link HPV infection to cervical and other anogenital cancers, and the types of HPV most commonly detected in cancers are HPV-16 and HPV-18.

TL;DR: Overall, HIV incidence in the United States was relatively stable 2006–2009; however, among young MSM, particularly black/African American MSM, incidence increased and expanded, improved, and targeted prevention is necessary to reduce HIV incidence.
