BACKGROUND Although condoms most likely prevent HIV infection, evidence of their effectiveness against other sexually transmitted diseases is mixed. [] Key MethodSTUDY DESIGN We conducted a literature review and meta-analysis of the effect of condom use on the prevention of genital warts, subclinical HPV infection, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and invasive cervical cancer (ICC).

Risk factors for and prevention of human papillomaviruses (HPV), genital warts and cervical cancer.

Condom use in prevention of Human Papillomavirus infections and cervical neoplasia: systematic review of longitudinal studies

Consistent condom use appears to offer a relatively good protection from HPV infections and associated cervical neoplasia, and advice to use condoms might be used as an additional instrument to prevent unnecessary colposcopies and neoplastic treatments in cervical screening, and to reduce the risk of cervical cancer.

Condom use promotes regression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and clearance of human papillomavirus: A randomized clinical trial

Although lower regression rates were found if women were HPV‐positive and had ≥CIN2 lesions at baseline, effects of condom use were found both in women with CIN1 and in women in the noncondom group, promoting regression of CIN lesions and clearance of HPV.

Should female sex workers be offered HPV vaccination?

Evidence-based, public health decisions concerning vaccination of SW are challenging and could be facilitated with more research in this high-risk group, but sufficient evidence is lacking.

Effectiveness of condoms in preventing sexually transmitted

These prospective studies, published since June 2000, show that condom use is associated with statistically significant protection of men and women against several other types of STIs, including chlamydial infection, gonorrhoea, herpes simplex virus type 2, and syphilis.

Condom use promotes regression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and clearance of human papillomavirus: A randomized clinical trial

It seems plausible that condom use is beneficial not only for prevention of HPV and other infectious agents, including HIV and STD-associated pathogens, but also for blockade of TRCM exposure.

Sexual Behavior, Condom Use, and Human Papillomavirus: Pooled Analysis of the IARC Human Papillomavirus Prevalence Surveys

The study showed an effect of both women's and their husbands' sexual behavior on HPV positivity and suggests some differences in the pattern of the association between sexual behavior and different HPV types.

Effectiveness of condoms in preventing sexually transmitted infections.

These prospective studies, published since June 2000, show that condom use is associated with statistically significant protection of men and women against several other types of STIs, including chlamydial infection, gonorrhoea, herpes simplex virus type 2, and syphilis.

Genital Hygiene and Strategies for HPV Prevention

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most important risk factor for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive cervical cancer and accounts for nearly 76.7% of CC in India.

Screening for strain-specific HPV DNA may identify women at highest risk for cervical neoplasia in Alaska Native women seeking routine care and colposcopy.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Genital Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infections in Healthy Males: A Study on Finnish Conscripts

The reliable assessment of the prevalence of genital HPV infections in healthy males is not only skewed by the selection of the study group by symptoms and promiscuity, but also by the lack of a universally acceptable screening method.

Is vaccination against human papillomavirus a possibility?

Risk factors for the acquisition of genital warts: are condoms protective?

Independent risk factors for genital warts include younger age, greater number of lifetime sexual partners, and smoking, and consistent condom use significantly reduces the risk of acquiring genital wart.

Risk factors associated with cervical human papillomavirus infections: a case-control study.

The results of this study support the concepts that sexual intercourse is the main form of transmission among adults and that sexual promiscuity is the most important determinant for genital HPV infections.

Prevalence of human papillomavirus in cervical cancer: a worldwide perspective. International biological study on cervical cancer (IBSCC) Study Group.

The results confirm the role of genitalHPVs, which are transmitted sexually, as the central etiologic factor in cervical cancer worldwide and suggest that most genital HPVs are associated with cancer, at least occasionally.

Sexual activity, contraception, genital infections, and cervical cancer: support for a sexually transmitted disease hypothesis.

Data from a case-control study conducted in Utah support the hypothesis that cervical cancer is a sexually transmitted disease.

Effect of condoms on reducing the transmission of herpes simplex virus type 2 from men to women.

Analysis of data from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of an ineffective candidate HSV-2 vaccine suggests that identification of discordant couples can reduce transmission of HSv-2, especially for heterosexual couples in which the male partner has HSV -2 infection.

HPV 16 and cigarette smoking as risk factors for high‐grade cervical intra‐epithelial neoplasia

The results indicate that infection with HPV 16 is associated with high‐grade lesions and additional cofactors, such as cigarette smoking, may be required as a carcinogen to advance HPV‐infected cells toward neoplastic progression.

Detection of human papillomavirus DNA on the fingers of patients with genital warts.

This study has identified hand carriage of genital HPV types in patients with genital warts and raises the possibility of transmission by finger-genital contact.
