• DNA virus
• Commonest STI
• lifetime risk of infection of up to 80% in exposed individuals.
• Usually asymptomatic and spontaneously clear within two years.
• 50-60% of women develop serum antibodies to HPV after infection.
•The prevalence declines with age but increases with increasing number of
sexual partners.
•Genital HPV is acquired through intimate skin to skin contact, not just
penetrative sexual intercourse.

31. Post exposure prophylaxis
Specific hepatitis B immunoglobulin 500 IU intra- muscularl y (HBIG) may be administered
to a non - immune contact after a single unprotected sexual exposure or parenteral
exposure/needlestick injury if the donor is known to be infectious. This works best within
12 h, ideally should be given within 48 hand is of no use after more than seven days
An accelerated course of hepatitis B vaccnie (at 0, 1, 3 weeks or 0, 1, 2 months with a
booster at 12 months in either course) should be offered to all non-immune sexual and
household contacts, including to those given HBIG. Vaccination theoretically will provide
some protection from disease when started up to six weeks after exposure
Contacts who have previously been vaccinated and achieved immunity can have a single
booster dose, with no HBIG
Avoid sexual contact, especially unprotected penetrative sex, until vaccination as been
successful (anti -HBs titres >101.U./ I.)
