New HPV test for developing countries shows high accuracy in predicting cervical disease: Study
A new HPV test developed by QIAGEN specifically for use in regions of the world with scarce resources is "substantially" more accurate in identifying women with cervical disease than the current methods (Pap testing and visual inspection) in these countries. view more (2008-09-22)
Genetic breakdown in Fanconi anemia may have link to HPV-associated cancer
A genetic malfunction that causes DNA instability in people with the blood disorder Fanconi anemia may put them at high risk for squamous cell carcinomas linked to human papillomavirus (HPV), according to a study posted online ahead of print by Oncogene. view more (2008-12-04)
HPV-vaccine may prevent preterm births
Chronic human papilloma virus (HPV)-infections can lead to cellular changes in the cervix that can be a pre-stage to cervical cancer. Surgical treatment of these pre-stages gives an increased risk of preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies. view more (2009-03-17)
Cancer-causing virus associated with higher risk of new HIV infection

Both Latino and non-Latino women likely to accept HPV vaccination for selves and children
Most women responding to a survey conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) clinics indicated they would be willing to be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV) and to have their daughters and even sons vaccinated in order to prevent cancer in their children. view more (2009-03-09)
UAB researchers report breakthrough in HPV research
UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham) researchers have developed a new, inexpensive and efficient method for producing and studying a type of human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer. The process could speed understanding of how the virus functions and causes diseases, and lead to new prevention or treatment options. view more (2009-02-24)
Fears of promiscuity pose barrier to cervical cancer vaccinations
The public's concerns about costs and increased promiscuity among teenagers appear to be hindering use of a vaccine against the human papilloma virus (HPV) to prevent life-threatening diseases, according to a study by researchers at Yale School of Public Health. view more (2008-12-18)
