Abstract
⺠Pre-HPV vaccine antibody levels serve as baseline to evaluate long-term HPV vaccination effects. ⺠The increase in HPV seroprevalence in adolescents correlates with sexual debut, mainly for HPV16 in women. ⺠10% of the population was found seropositive for multiple HPV serotypes. ⺠Ethnicity, marital status, casual partnership or having a STD increased the risk of HPV seropositivity.
