Correlation and Diagnosis of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Manifestations in Male or Female Genitalia and Oral Cavity

The prevalence of the human papilloma virus (HPV) in the oral cavity and oropharynx has not been well elucidated yet. The aim of this study was to correlate the concomitance of prevalence of HPV in genitalia of men and women with or without HIV/Aids, having manifestations in the oral cavity. Dentist’s (DS) attention is justified by the increase in Condylomata acuminatum in the oral cavity and the possible correlation of manifestations in patients´ genitalia. When associated with seropositivity for HIV/Aids, it becomes an important cofactor increasing the possibility of manifestations of the disease in view of the diminished immunity of these patients. The prevalence and concomitance of the percentage of C. acuminatum lesions in genitalia were correlated with those in the oral cavity by using the following variables: gender, age, skin color, category of exposure, habits, general and oral diseases, presence or absence of xerostomia, T-CD4 lymphocytes, and viral load. The results showed the prevalence of 7 (17.95%) for those who presented concomitant genital/oral lesions. Both the experience and results must become public, aiming to disseminate knowledge about the degree of complexity of the epidemic and need for preventive measures to ameliorate propagation of the disease in the population
