| multiple infections in cases of cervical cancer from a high-incidence area in tropical africa. | the presence of several infections was determined in tissue and serum samples from 34 cases and 23 controls seen in 1984-85 at mulago hospital in kampala, uganda. when assessing single infections, association with cervical cancer could be shown for 5 agents, namely by southern blot assay for human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 (hpv), and by serological tests at varying levels of antibody titres, for herpes simplex virus type i and/or 2 (hsv), cytomegalovirus (cmv), epstein-barr virus, viral cap ... | 1989 | 2714885 |
| circumcision of hiv-infected men and transmission of human papillomavirus to female partners: analyses of data from a randomised trial in rakai, uganda. | background: male circumcision reduces the transmission of high-risk human papillomavirus (hpv) in hiv-uninfected men and their female partners. we assessed whether circumcision of hiv-infected men would reduce the transmission of high-risk hpv to their female partners. methods: female partners of hiv-infected men (aged 15-49 years) in rakai, uganda, with cd4 counts of greater than 350 cells per ml who were randomly assigned to undergo circumcision immediately (intervention group) and after 24 mo ... | 2011 | 21489882 |
| male circumcision and anatomic sites of penile high-risk human papillomavirus in rakai, uganda. | male circumcision (mc) reduces penile high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-hpv) on the coronal sulcus and urethra. hr-hpv varies by anatomic site, and it is unknown whether mc decreases hr-hpv on the penile shaft. we assessed the efficacy of mc to reduce hr-hpv on the penile shaft and compared it to known efficacy of mc to reduce hr-hpv on the coronal sulcus. hiv-negative men randomized to receive immediate circumcision (intervention) or circumcision delayed for 24 months (control) were evaluated ... | 2011 | 21462185 |
| a modeling framework for the analysis of hpv incidence and persistence: a semi-parametric approach for clustered binary longitudinal data analysis. | human papillomavirus (hpv) infection is a common sexually transmitted disease of growing public health importance, and over 40 genotypes have been identified in genital infections. current hpv cohort studies often follow participants at pre-determined visits, such as every 6 months, and data generated from such epidemiology studies can be described as clustered longitudinal binary data where correlation arises in two ways: the directionless clustering due to the multiple genotypes tested within ... | 2010 | 20839368 |
| parametric frailty models for clustered data with arbitrary censoring: application to effect of male circumcision on hpv clearance. | in epidemiological studies, subjects are often followed for a period during which study outcomes are measured at selected time points, such as by diagnostic testing performed on biological samples collected at each visit. although test results may indicate the presence or absence of a disease or condition, they cannot provide information on when exactly it occurred. such study designs generate arbitrarily censored time-to-event data, which can include left, interval and right censoring. adding t ... | 2010 | 20459614 |
| male circumcision decreases acquisition and increases clearance of high-risk human papillomavirus in hiv-negative men: a randomized trial in rakai, uganda. | uncircumcised human immunodeficiency virus (hiv)-negative men aged 15-49 years were randomized to immediate circumcision (intervention arm, 441 subjects) or delayed circumcision (control arm, 399 subjects). human papillomavirus (hpv) was detected by roche hpv linear array at enrollment, and at 6, 12, and 24 months. incident high-risk hpv (hr-hpv) was estimated in men who acquired a new hr-hpv genotype. hr-hpv clearance was determined in men with prior genotype-specific hr-hpv infections. rate ra ... | 2010 | 20370483 |
| circumcision of hiv-infected men: effects on high-risk human papillomavirus infections in a randomized trial in rakai, uganda. | in rakai, uganda, human immunodeficiency virus (hiv)-positive men were randomized to undergo either immediate circumcision (intervention arm) or delayed circumcision (control arm). penile swab samples were assayed for high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-hpv) by roche hpv linear array at enrollment and at 24 months (intervention arm, 103 subjects; control arm, 107 subjects). rate ratios (rrs) of hr-hpv were estimated by poisson regression. at 24 months, hr-hpv prevalence was found in 57 (55.3%) of ... | 2010 | 20370481 |
