There is strong evidence to suggest vertical and horizontal modes of transmission of human papilloma virus (HPV), an established etiologic agent of cervical cancer. Infants, children, and adults can acquire both high‐risk and low‐risk infections by birth or by close contact even though HPV is mainly transmitted sexually. A thorough review of the literature was performed to assess the possible non‐sexual modes of transmission of HPV.

Risk of Oral Human Papillomavirus Infection Among Sexually Active Female Adolescents Receiving the Quadrivalent Vaccine
This cohort study assesses associations between sexual activity, the oral presence of human papillomavirus (HPV), and HPV vaccination among sexually active female adolescents vaccinated against 4 HPV…
HPV Infections in Heterosexual Couples: Mechanisms and Covariates of Virus Transmission
TLDR
The high complexity of HPV transmission dynamics within an individual him-/herself as well as within sexual couples is discussed in this article.
Detection of Human Papillomaviruses in the Nasopharynx of Breastfed Infants: New Findings and Meta-Analysis
TLDR
Investigation of perinatal transmission of alpha and beta HPVs among newborns found an inverse correlation between the rate of alpha HPV positivity and age, while a significant positive trend was observed in beta HPV detection and age with the highest rate among children older than 12 months.
Sequential acquisition of human papillomavirus infection between genital and oral anatomic sites in males
TLDR
HPV infections at one site could elevate risk of a subsequent genital or oral HPV infection of the same type in men, emphasizing the importance of vaccination to prevent all HPV infections.
Human papilloma viruses infection among adolescent females perinatally infected with HIV in Côte d’Ivoire
TLDR
The reported low prevalence of carcinogenic HPV infections supports the appropriateness of HPV immunisation in this population of HIV-infected adolescent females and the reported association between cleansing practices and HPV infection deserves further prospective longitudinal studies.
Lack of knowledge regarding HPV and its relation to oropharyngeal cancer among medical students
TLDR
Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) is an important cause of cancer‐related mortality globally and knowledge and awareness of HPV‐related OPC can be crucial in the preventive efforts.
HPV-Related Papillary Lesions of the Oral Mucosa: A Review
  • S. Betz

    Head and Neck Pathology

TLDR
Mechanisms of infection, epidemiology, clinical presentations, histologic features, and differential diagnoses of the HPV-related oral pathologies are discussed.
HLA-G and vertical mother-to-child transmission of human papillomavirus infection.
Relevance of Human Papillomaviruses in Head and Neck Cancer—What Remains in 2021 from a Clinician’s Point of View?
TLDR
It is important to note that the inclusion of p16INK4A (a surrogate marker for HPV-positivity) in the 8th TMN-classification has only prognostic, not therapeutic, intent.
HPV Vaccination Concepts in the Reality of Today
TLDR
HPV infection is still very prevalent in sexually active population and may be associated to cervical, oropharyngeal, penile and anal cancers, and growing evidences suggest positive effects of adjuvant vaccination in patients with HPV related cancer and in HPV infected infertile couples.

A risk for non-sexual transmission of human papillomavirus?
TLDR
Evidence from basic research and clinical studies that show HPV can survive well outside of its host to potentially be transmitted by non-sexual means is reviewed to discover problems in current prevention practices and show a need for better disinfectants to combat the spread of HPV.
Transmission of Cervical Cancer-Associated Human Papilloma Viruses from Mother to Child
TLDR
The traditional view that cervical-cancer associated HPV infections are primarily sexually transmitted needs to be re-assessed and the role of mother to child transmission of cancer-associated HPVs may need to be investigated further.
Human papillomavirus in infants: transmission, prevalence, and persistence.
Rate of vertical transmission of human papillomavirus from mothers to infants: Relationship between infection rate and mode of delivery
TLDR
Vertical transmission of HPV DNA from HPV infected mother to the neonate increased when the infant was delivered through an infected cervix, however, the absence of persistent infection in infants at 6 months after delivery may suggest temporary inoculation rather than true vertical infection.
Can ‘high‐risk’ human papillomaviruses (HPVs) be detected in human breast milk?
TLDR
The aim of this study was to determine the presence of ‘high‐risk’ HPV DNA in human breast milk.

High prevalence of human papillomavirus type 16 infection among children
TLDR
Data is presented on the prevalence of HPV‐16 DNA (the most prevalent high‐risk HPV type) in healthy children and its prevalence according to age or sex in a subset of children.
Vertical transmission of the human papillomavirus: a systematic quantitative review.
TLDR
The results of this meta-analysis showed the HPV DNA-positive rate only after birth, but an HPVDNA-positive neonatal sample does not necessarily indicate infection; it could merely indicate contamination (perinatal HPV contamination may have occurred).
Genital warts in children: what do they mean?
TLDR
The finding of asymptomatic HPV DNA in children, and correlation with live virus, infectivity, or disease is unclear, and long term follow up for children with anogenital warts is recommended, although there are no longitudinal studies available to clarify whether they are at risk of developing carcinoma in young adulthood.
