ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the characteristics of high-risk papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection in men. The aims of this cross-sectional study were: (a) to investigate HR-HPV prevalence and genotype distribution in men, sexual partners of women presenting with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-CIN), according to epidemiological characteristics, and (b) to assess type-specific concordance between partners. METHODS: A total of 125 men were recruited within the first 6 months after HG-CIN diagnosis of their partner. Samples from the coronal sulcus, glans penis shaft, and scrotum were tested with linear array HPV genotyping assay (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Type-specific concordance within 120 couples was studied. Epidemiological factors were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. SPSS 19 (IBM, Chicago, USA). RESULTS: The prevalence of HR-HPV infection in males was 50.4% (63/125). HPV16/53/52/51/66/31 were the most frequent genotypes (24/10.4/9.6/8.8/8/7.2%, respectively). Current smoking was associated with an increased risk for HR-HPV infection in men (38.2% (21/55) vs 60% (42/70), OR 2.4, p = 0.025). Among 60 infected couples, 62% shared at least one genotype: 41.7% couples were concordantly HPV16 positive and 18.3% were HPV16 negative (kappa value: 0.21). The proportion of women with the same genotype as their male partner was higher than the proportion of men sharing the same genotype as their female partner: 58.7% (37/63) vs 30.8% (37/120), p < 0.0001. CONCLUSIONS: Sexual partners of women with HG-CIN are a significant reservoir and vector of HPV infection, a fact that could contribute to making viral clearance more difficult to achieve in their partners after treatment of their HG-CIN lesions
RESUMEN
INTRODUCCIÓN: Las características de la infección por papilomavirus de alto riesgo (VPH-AR) en el varón apenas se conocen. Los objetivos de este estudio transversal fueron: (a) investigar la prevalencia de VPH-AR y la distribución de genotipos en varón pareja sexual de mujer con neoplasia intraepitelial cervical de alto grado (CIN-AG) y su epidemiología, y (b) evaluar la concordancia tipo-específica entre parejas. MÉTODOS: Se seleccionaron hombres (n=125) en los primeros 6 meses tras el diagnóstico de CIN-AG de su pareja. Se genotiparon muestras del surco coronario, base del glande y escroto (Linear Array, Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Alemania). Se estudió la concordancia tipo-específica entre parejas (n=120). Los factores epidemiológicos se evaluaron mediante regresión logística multivariante, SPSS 19 (IBM, Chicago, USA). RESULTADOS: La prevalencia de VPH-AR en el hombre fue del 50,4% (63/125). VPH16/53/52/51/66/31 fueron los genotipos más frecuentes (24/10,4/9,6/8,8/8/7,2%, respectivamente). El tabaquismo se asoció con un mayor riesgo de infección por VPH-AR en el hombre (38,2% [21/55] vs 60% [42/70], OR 2,4, p = 0,025). Entre 60 parejas infectadas, el 62% compartieron al menos un genotipo: el 41,7% fueron concordantes VPH16 positivas y el 18,3% VPH16 negativas (valor kappa: 0,21). La proporción de mujeres con el mismo genotipo que su pareja fue mayor que la de hombres con el mismo genotipo que su pareja: 58,7% (37/63) vs 30,8% (37/120), p < 0,0001. CONCLUSIONES: Las parejas sexuales de mujeres con CIN-AG constituyen un importante reservorio y vector de infección por VPH; esto podría contribuir a que el aclaramiento viral de sus parejas tras el tratamiento de CIN-AG fuese más difícil de alcanzar
