US EditionMost newborns naturally eliminate HPV infections within first six months of life, study finds
- A Canadian study led by Helen Trottier monitored 200 newborns exposed to HPV over two years to assess virus clearance after birth.
- The study followed these infants due to concerns about perinatal HPV transmission, though transmission during pregnancy or childbirth is unlikely.
- The research found nearly all babies eliminated HPV within six months, with only two experiencing recurring infections, defined as a negative test followed by positive later.
- Emra Alice Bnard, the study's lead author, described the findings as highly reassuring, while Trottier highlighted that immunization plays a crucial role in protecting against HPV infection.
- These results suggest low risk of persistent HPV infections in newborns but highlight the importance of adult vaccination to prevent HPV-related cancers.
