Non sexual means Abstract Aim: 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 […]
Transvaginal ultrasound probe contamination by the human papillomavirus in the emergency department.
Transvaginal contamination Ma ST, et al. Emerg Med J. 2013. Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine if human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA can be detected on the transvaginal sonography (TVS) probe in the emergency department (ED) and whether the current barrier method plus disinfection can prevent HPV contamination of the TVS probe. METHODS: This was a two-part cross-sectional […]

What if HPV does NOT cause cervical cancer?
Cervical Cancer? By Norma Erickson and Peter H. Duesberg, PhD The title of a paper recently published by McCormack et al in Molecular Cytogenetics says it all, ”Individual karyotypes at the origins of cervical carcinomas.” If the findings in this paper are true, a vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV) is extremely unlikely to protect against […]
Detection of human papillomavirus L1 gene DNA fragments in postmortem blood and spleen after Gardasil® vaccination—A case report
