Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a highly prevalent condition that associated with adverse health outcomes. It has been proposed BV's role as pathogenic mediated via bacteria-induced inflammation. However, the complex interplay between vaginal microbes and host immune factors yet to be clearly elucidated. Here, we develop molBV, 16 S rRNA gene amplicon-based classification pipeline generates molecular score diagnoses BV same accuracy current gold standard method (i.e., Nugent score). Using 3...
<h3>Importance</h3> Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in United States, and oral HPV associated with increased risk of oropharyngeal cancer. <h3>Objective</h3> To describe factors for active female adolescents receiving quadrivalent vaccine. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Longitudinal cohort study involving repeated collection rinse specimens from conducted between October 19, 2007, March 9, 2017, at a large adolescent health center New...
Objectives Published human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine trials indicate efficacy is strongest for those naive to the vaccine-types. However, few high-risk young women have been followed and cervical HPV has predominant outcome measure. Methods We collected anal swabs, as well oral rinse specimens from 645 sexually active inner-city females attending a large adolescent health-clinic in New York City that offers free care vaccination. Specimens were tested HPV-DNA using MY09/MY11-PCR system....
Rates of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection have decreased since the introduction HPV vaccines in populations with high vaccine uptake. Data are limited for adolescent and young adult US metropolitan centers.
Uptake of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in the United States is slow, and effectiveness has not been assessed high-risk adolescent populations. We conducted a longitudinal study 1139 sexually active, inner-city women receiving 3-dose quadrivalent (4vHPV) vaccine. Cervical anal specimens collected semiannually were tested using an L1-specific polymerase chain reaction assay. Postvaccination incidence 4vHPV nonvaccine HPV types, risk cervical cytological abnormalities, relation to time...

This study investigated the association of cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infection with cumulative psychosocial risk reflecting family disadvantage, psychological distress, and unhealthy lifestyle.The sample (N = 745) comprised sexually active female adolescent patients (12-19 yr), primarily ethnic minorities, enrolled in a free HPV vaccination program. Subjects completed questionnaires provided swabs for DNA testing. Unweighted weighted principal component analyses categorical data...
This study examines associations between childhood maltreatment and developmental trajectories of sexual risk behaviors (SRBs) in a sample 882 sexually active adolescent girls, predominantly Hispanic or Black, assessed every 6 months 13 23 years. Latent profile analyses revealed four distinct profiles: Low Maltreatment (76%), Moderate Emotional Neglect Only (15%), Severe Physical/Emotional Abuse (3%), Sexual (6%).

However, its detection can be time-consuming, subjective, expensive for large cohort studies. This case–control study, conducted at Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center in New York City, involved 36 women prevalent TV infections controls. The objective was to...
