Abstract
This investigation aimed to assess the prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in the oral cavity of women with oral sex practices and cervical lesions. A questionnaire regarding oral sex practices was administered to 92 nonsmokers and nonalcoholics previously diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) within the past six months, followed by swab collection from the cheek and palate/gum for PCR analysis of HPV16, HPV18, and generic HPV. Results indicated that 73% of participants reported regular oral sex practices, with all showing positive HPV results in their oral mucus or palate. Overall, 35% had HPV16, with 27% of those with regular oral sex practices reporting frequent engagement and 9% reporting none. Oral HPV16 positivity correlated with advanced cervical CIN lesions. HPV18 was not detected, with a greater prevalence of HPV16 in buccal mucosa compared to palate/gum (23%)
