UNASSIGNED: Oral @entity1082 ) carriage rates were investigated in relation to genital HPV carriage in @entity1 with @entity66 and male partner of such @entity1 , including several couples, in comparison with healthy individuals. Buccal and lingual mucosa of 60 males and 149 females with healthy oral mucosa and without known @entity75 , genital and oral mucosa of further 40 females with cervical @entity2784 ( @entity2784 ) and 34 male sexual partners of @entity1 with @entity2784 (including 20 couples) were sampled. HPV DNA was detected using MY/GP PCR. Genotype was determined by sequencing or restriction fragment length polymorphism. Virus copy numbers were determined by real-time PCR. Overall, oral HPV carriage rate was 5.7% (12/209) in healthy individuals; average copy number was 5.8  *  10(2)   copies/1   g DNA; male and female rates were comparable. Oral carriage in @entity1 with @entity2784 was significantly higher, 20.0% (8/40, P  =  0.003); males with partners with @entity2784 showed a carriage rate of 17.6% (6/34), copy numbers were similar to the healthy controls. In contrast, genital carriage rate (52.9%, 18/34 vs. 82.5%, 33/40; P  =  0.006) and average copy number were lower in males (5.0  *  10(5) vs. 7.8  *  10(5)   copies/1   g DNA; P  =  0.01). Oral copy numbers in these groups and in healthy individuals were comparable. High-risk genotypes were dominant; couples usually had the same genotype in the genital sample. In conclusion, genital HPV carriage is a risk factor of oral carriage for the individual or for the sexual partner, but alone is not sufficient to produce an oral @entity1083 in most cases.
