Oral HR-HPV infections were more likely in participants who were former smokers and had a greater number of sexual and oral sexual partners. Likelihood of HPV infection was not linked to folate status.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the prevalence of oral HR-HPV infection in adult men and women in England,&#8221; the authors write. &#8220;The prevalence is low and the data suggest that oral infection with HR types is associated with tobacco use and sexual behavior.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1136\/bmjopen-2018-022497\" target=\"_new\">Abstract\/Full Text<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Copyright \u00a9 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_new\">HealthDay<\/a>.
