HPV vaccination status and effectiveness in Korean women with HPV16/18 infection (2010-2021): a retrospective study

CONCLUSION: HPV vaccination reduced the prevalence and duration of infection and kept the PS in an episomal form for both HPV16 and HPV18. The tendency of persistence VL to be higher than clearance in the unvaccinated group implies that the vaccine's effect of reducing VL in HPV16 may lower the risk of progression to cervical cancer by shortening the infection duration.PMID:38330379 | DOI:10.3802/jgo.2024.35.e56
