Feasibility of HPV Testing With Mail-delivered Sample Collection Kits
Persistent Oral HPV Among Diverse PLWH: A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Feasibility and Acceptability of Testing for Oral HPV DNA Infection With Mail-delivered Sample Collection Kits
University of California, San Francisco
135 participants
Nov 17, 2024
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) have an estimated 1.6-6.0 times increased risk of developing oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) compared with individuals in the general population. 70% of OPCs are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), and PLWH also have an increased prevalence of oral HPV infection. Disparities by race/ethnicity also include a later stage of diagnosis and less frequent cancer-directed treatment for members of ethnic minority groups. There is little known regarding the racial/ethnic differences in oral HPV infection, persistence of oral HPV infection, or progression of oral HPV infection to OPC among PLWH. This is an observational, prospective cohort study to investigate the feasibility of alternative sample collection methods for HPV testing among PLWH.
