Abstract :
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexual transmitted diseases (STDs). We compared two groups of virgins with genital HPV lesions to evaluate the behaviour at risk in the transmission of HPV infection. Partners were also examined. HPV lesions were detected in 88 virgins, who have never had sexual intercourse. This can be due to vertical transmission, fomities and skin-to-skin contact. Many other hypothesis can be proposed to explain HPV genital infection, however, further studies are required.
