Primary Outcome Measures:

Presence of type-specific HPV DNA in self-collected oral and vaginal swab samples [ Time Frame: once a month for 6 months ]

Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA

Self-collected vaginal samples for HPV testing. Self-collected oral samples for HPV testing. Serum samples for HPV antibody testing.


Enrollment:	409
Study Start Date:	February 2011
Study Completion Date:	August 2012
Primary Completion Date:	August 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Detailed Description:

The investigators propose a longitudinal study of 500 women in order to determine rates and risk factors for HPV infections in 30-50 year old women. Participants will be followed for 6 months and will be asked to complete online questionnaires on their health, sexual behavior, HPV vaccinations, and cervical cancer screening. The investigators will ask participants to self-collect monthly vaginal swab samples and self-collect 2 oral swab samples. Women will also be asked to provide 2 blood samples. All swab samples will be tested for type-specific HPV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay, blood samples will be tested for HPV antibodies.
