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

HPV positive head and neck cancers: molecular pathogenesis and evolving treatment strategies.
Rüveyda Dok,Sandra Nuyts +1 more
TL;DR: The molecular basis for this different outcome, novel treatment opportunities and possible biomarkers for HPV positive HNSCC are summarized, and several molecular targeted strategies that can improve the chemoradiation response by influencing DNA repair mechanisms are focused on.

Predictors of Adults' Knowledge and Awareness of HPV, HPV-Associated Cancers, and the HPV Vaccine: Implications for Health Education.
Kimberly R. McBride,Shipra Singh +1 more
TL;DR: High human papillomavirus prevalence and low HPV vaccine uptake among men and some racial minorities suggests a need for further intervention and patient–provider communication that includes education, counseling, and clear recommendations favoring vaccination may improve uptake.

Clinical significance of human papillomavirus genotyping
Youn Jin Choi,Jong Sup Park +1 more
TL;DR: The role of HPV genotyping in cervical cancer is discussed by addressing: clinically important issues in HPV virology; the current application of HPV Genotypes in clinical medicine; and potential future uses for HPV Genotyping.

Return on investment: a fuller assessment of the benefits and cost savings of the US publicly funded family planning program.
TL;DR: Public expenditures for the US family planning program not only prevented unintended pregnancies but also reduced the incidence and impact of preterm and LBW births, STIs, infertility, and cervical cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential impact of prophylactic human papillomavirus vaccination on oropharyngeal cancer.
TL;DR: There are differences in the epidemiology of oral and genital HPV infection, such as differences in age and sex distributions, which suggest that the vaccine efficacy observed in genital cancers may not be directly translatable to the cancers of the oropharynx.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The epidemiology of genital human papillomavirus infection.
Helen Trottier,Eduardo L. Franco +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
