Overview

Common risk factors for anogenital HPV infection are number of sex partners, having a new partner, duration of being sexually active, vaginal delivery and multiple deliveries. Close contact is the most potent factor for cutaneous infection.

Risk Factors

The most potent risk factor in acquiring HPV skin infection is close contact,[1] while the most important risk factor for anogenital infection is sexual activity.[2]

Sexual transmission

Risk factors responsible for sexual transmission of HPV include:

  • Number of sex partners[3][4]
  • Acquisition of new partner[3]
  • Having nonmonogamous sex partner[5][6]
  • Starting sexual activity at young age[5]
  • Vaginal delivery and multiple deliveries[7]
  • Age over 40 for women[8]
  • History of Chlamydia infection[9]
  • Long term OCP use[10]
