JAMA, 02/15/2012

Maura L. Gillison et al. – Among men and women aged 14 to 69 years in the United States, the overall prevalence of oral HPV infection was 6.9%, and

the prevalence was higher among men than among women.

Results

Men had a significantly higher prevalence than women for any oral HPV infection (10.1% [95% CI, 8.3%–12.3%] vs 3.6% [95% CI, 2.6%–5.0%], P < .001; unadjusted prevalence ratio [PR], 2.80 [95% CI, 2.02–3.88])
Infection was less common among those without vs those with a history of any type of sexual contact (0.9% [95% CI, 0.4%–1.8%] vs 7.5% [95% CI, 6.1%–9.1%], P < .001; PR, 8.69 [95% CI, 3.91–19.31]) and increased with number of sexual partners (P < .001 for trend) and cigarettes smoked per day (P < .001 for trend)
Associations with age, sex, number of sexual partners, and current number of cigarettes smoked per day were independently associated with oral HPV infection in multivariable models.
