INTRODUCTION Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the etiological agent of cervical cancer, the second-most common malignant tumour in the world. In India, cervical cancer is a leading cancer among women, with an annual incidence of approximately !",### and mortality rates of approximately $%,###. HPV infection is the most common genital infection of female&s particularly afflicting adolescents and women in their early "#s. 'ost young women are infected within the first few years of (ecoming sexually active, and the lifetime ris) of HPV infection is $#*$+,. -dolescent females har(oring infections with high ris) HPV seem to (e most vulnera(le to develop histological lesions of the cervix that may (ecome precancerous and potentially invasive cancer. .he ma/or reason for high mortality from cervical cancer is late stage of diagnosis owing to the lac) of a cervical cancer screening program. 'oreover, most genital HPV infections are asymptomatic and unapparent. 0ince -dolescents are more vulnera(le to HPV infection, early detection in this age group at appropriate time is essential (1ari 2raaten et al., "##34 'arc 0te(en et al., "##$4 5avid Hager, "##+). Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) contains a circular, dou(le-stranded 56genome, and more than %# HPV types can infect the genital area and result in genital lesions. -s the most common sexually transmitted virus, HPV is commonly transmitted through direct s)in-to-s)in contact, most often during penetrative genital contact, followed (y contact with infected cutaneous or mucosal surfaces, including the anogenital epitheliu (7iang 8ang et al., "# !). .he prevalence of HPV infection among promiscuous and sexually active adults has (een studied in many countries, and different geographic distri(utions of various HPV types have (een found. 9or example, HPV- : and HPV- 3 are the prevalent types among sexually active adults in the ;nited 0tates, 2ra<il, and 0pain (5el -mo et al., "##+, 1outs)y ++$). 8hereas HPV-=", followed (y HPV- : and HPV-=3, are the most common types in the Philippines ('iyashita et al., "##+). 9emale 0ex 8or)ers (908s) are at a particularly high ris) of HPV infection.

However, most HPV infections spontaneously regress and only in a small percentage of cases the infection persists, Dow-grade Intraepithelial Desions (D0ID) progress to High-grade Intraepithelial Desions (H0ID) and, ultimately, develop into invasive cervical carcinoma (8oodman et al., "##$). 0everal studies have reported that self-o(tained samples from the anogenital tract were accurate and suita(le for HPV-56testing and have shown a similar correlation to clinically o(tained samples (Petignat et al., "##$4 Ho((s et al., "##3).

HPV 56- test is now accepted as a useful ad/unctive method that increases the sensitivity of the conventional cervical cytology. Perhaps the use of urine sample for the detection of HPV could provide a preliminary screening for a cervical cancer and thus circumvent the need for an annual Pap smear for women who are negative for HPV 56-. -lternatively, detection of HPV 56- in urine can function as a secondary screening techniGue for cervical cancer in triage for women with atypical sGuamous cells of undetermined significance.

0everal factors including host cell factors are necessary for progression of HPV-infected precursor lesions to cancer. In particular, adolescent girls seem to exhi(it a num(er of factors that increase their suscepti(ility to HPV infection. .he (ehavioral and (iological ris) factors associated with the acGuisition of HPV in adolescents and young adult women include poor genital hygiene, early age of first sexual intercourse, num(er of lifetime sexual partners, alcohol and drug a(use, and lac) of condom use, hormonal and dietary factors and immunosuppression and the (iologic vulnera(ility of the adolescent cervix. Jther factors may play a role in increasing adolescent&s vulnera(ility. Chlamydia trachomatis, a common infection and ?igarette smo)ing may also enhance persistence and progression of HPV infection. However, in adolescents, the immune response to HPV exposure is greater than in adults. .his is why cervical cancers are rare in adolescents (O " years) ('ichael Pichichero, "##$4 9rega et al., "##!4 'elissa Dawson, "##:4 Hauwers, "##+4 0ara, "##+). .ransmission of HPV primarily occurs through direct genital contact, most commonly (y sexual intercourse. 2ut, other types of sexual and non-sexual contacts can transmit HPV in self reported BvirginsC. .ransmission via inanimate o(/ects such as (ed clothing, toilets is thought to (e unli)ely, (ut the true ris) is un)nown (1ari 2raaten et al., "##3). ;ntil recently Papanicolaou-stained (Pap) smear cervical cytology was the only traditional morphological screening method which detects early HPV infection and should (e done only in asymptomatic women. ?ellular changes were classified (y the pathologists according to the 2ethesda classification system as negative (normal), -typical 0Guamous ?ells of ;ndetermined 0ignificance (-0?;0), Dow-grade 0Guamous Intraepithelial Desion (D0ID), High-grade 0Guamous Intraepithelial Desion (H0ID), or suggestive of cancer (-ndrea 9uessel et al., "##%). 2ut Pap testing in adolescents is particularly not feasi(le (ecause of the vast ma/ority of cytological a(normalities in adolescents regress or does not represent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (?I6) "H! or carcinoma in 0itu (Aessica 1ahn et al., "##=). ?olposcopy permits visuali<ation of the lesions and is performed for women with a(normal smears or with signs or symptoms suggestive of cancer.

P=! is a )ey cellular regulatory gene that acts as a transcriptional activator and has characteristics of a tumor suppressor gene. In non-infected cells, p=! levels increase in response to cellular or 56- damage or a(errant cellular proliferation signals. High levels of p=!, (y interacting with 8-9 Hcip and cd)-cyclin, induce the cell to undergo growth arrest in the E phase of the cell cycle, which provides an opportunity for the cell to either repair 56- damage or (e eliminated through programmed cell death (apoptosis). In HPV-infected cells >: protein from high-ris) HPVs (inds to p=! thus causing loss of its crucial role in controlling the cell cycle. = p@( also plays a crucial role in controlling the transition from E to the 0 phase of the cell cycle (y interacting with other cell cycle proteins including >"9, c-myc and n-myc. >$ encoded (y high-ris) HPVs (inds with p@(, (loc)ing its a(ility to interact with >"9 and unregulated proliferation occurs.

2.: NATURAL HISTORY OF HPV INFECTION IN ADOLESCENTS -dolescents represent a uniGue population in terms of infectious disease suscepti(ility and associated mor(idity (ecause (iological and (ehavioral factors place them at particular ris) of acGuiring HPV. .he )ey period of sexual exploration and development occurs during adolescence. >vidence from around the world suggests that young, unmarried, adolescents are initiating intercourse at a younger age, having multiple sexual partners for a limited duration, having unprotected first intercourse and (eing more li)ely to report high ris) sexual (ehavior than do married adolescents and people in older age groups. 0uch (ehavior may also (e associated with very early HPV infection and an elevated ris) of cervical cancer development ('anop 1anato et al., "##:4 .eresa >r( et al., "###). 2.> ADOLESCENT BIOLOGICAL VULNERABILITY Roung age at first intercourse has long (een associated with ris) for invasive cancer. .he ris) of invasive cancer increases twofold in women who initiate sexual intercourse under the age of 3 years as compared with those initiating sexual intercourse after + years when controlling the num(er of lifetime sex partners. .his finding suggests that there is a certain (iological vulnera(ility of the cervix of young women to HPV infection. .he adolescent cervix is structurally different from the cervix of adult women. It freGuently has a mosaic appearance with different cellular components including relatively large areas of columnar and metaplastic sGuamous epithelium. >m(ryologically, the cervix is initially lined (y columnar epithelium in utero. ;rogenital sGuamous epithelium replaces the columnar epithelium4 however the replacement is incomplete with an a(rupt sGuamous-columnar /unction occurring on the ectocervix. .he adolescent enters pu(erty with relatively large areas of columnar epithelium compared to the adult women. 5ue to increased estrogenic activity and resulting acidity of the vagina, uncommitted generative cells of the columnar epithelium (egin to transform themselves into sGuamous epithelium. >ventually, columnar epithelium transforms into sGuamous epithelium with a new columnar /unction occurring well into the os. .he predominant cell type in adults is the mature sGuamous cell. 2oth columnar and metaplastic sGuamous cells are vulnera(le to HPV pro(a(ly for a variety of reasons of which thinness of the >pithelium may (e one factor ('elissa Dawson, "##:4 'arcia 0hew et al., "##=).

.he transformation process is referred to as sGuamous metaplasia. 0ince the process of sGuamous metaplasia appears to (e most active during adolescence, it may represent a vulnera(ility to the esta(lishment of HPV infections. .riggers of sGuamous metaplasia include sexual activity. -lthough, the mature sGuamous epithelium provides more protective (arrier to HPV than the thin columnar epithelium, the process of transformation creates a fertile environment for HPV infection and development of 0ID. HPV replication and patterns of transcription are highly dependent on the differentiation program of )eratinocytes in the cervical sGuamous epithelium. .herefore, it is somewhat intuitive that sGuamous metaplasia is particularly favora(le to HPV survival. .he environment is conducive to viral replication, and possi(ly persistence. It is important to emphasi<e, however, that HPV detection in adolescents is most commonly associated with normal cytology. Jver three-Guarters of HPV-infected adolescents have normal cytology. - study of adolescent women showed that those large amounts of metaplastic change visi(le on colpopophotographs were more li)ely to develop D0ID if infected with HPV than adolescents with a relatively Guiescent cervix (-nna-2ar(ara 'oscic)i, "##$). 2.?

Jver time, however, the incidence of cervical cancer declined slightly in the "#- to "%-year-old group, a trend that was also noted in older age groups. .his reduction in incidence is attri(uta(le to a decline in the incidence of sGuamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, although the incidence of adeoncarcinoma of the cervix actually increased. In general, the incidence of HPV in the general population varies (etween 3 and "#, per year and the incidence rates were higher for oncogenic HPV infections than for non-oncogenic HPV infections (-nna Eiuliano et al., "##").

multiple sexual partners, cigarette smo)ing, immune suppression, and oral contraception. HPV viral persistence appears to (e a complex interaction of sexual (ehaviors, coexisting genital infections, and viral characteristics ('arcia 0hewet et al., "##=). .he ma/orities of HPV infections are self-limited and spontaneously clear within a several-year period as a result of cell-mediated immunity. In one study, two-thirds of adolescents infected with low ris) HPV types spontaneously cleared their infections (y " months, as did over half of those infected with high-ris) HPV types. 2y "! months, more than 3#, had cleared their HPV infections.

However, many women who spontaneously clear one specific type of HPV (ecome infected with another HPV type. .his is part of the reason that infection with multiple types of HPV is Guite common in sexually active adolescents and young women (.homas 8right, "##+). Persistence of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is necessary for the development of cervical cancer. -dditionally, infection with HPV is implicated in the ma/ority of cases of other genital tract malignancies including vulvar, penile, and vaginal cancer.

2.1> DIAGNOSIS Human papillomavirus testing is complicated (ecause of the nature of the virus. It cannot (e cultured, and anti(ody methods are relatively insensitive4 therefore, HPV detection reGuires some form of nucleic acid test. .he viral life cycle is restricted to differentiating epithelium4 therefore, a cellular sample collected from the site of infection is reGuired. 9urther, HPV is not a single virus (ut a family of more than ## closely related viral types. .he types are distinguished (ased on differences in their 56seGuence. -ssays must (e designed to handle the complexity introduced (y the large num(er of HPV types.

Dee suggests the presence of HPV 56- fragments of vaccine origin might offer a plausi(le explanation for the high immunogenicity of Eardasil, meaning that the vaccine has the a(ility to provo)e an exaggerated immune response. He points out that the rate of anaphylaxis in girls receiving Eardasil is far higher than normalareportedly five to "# times higher than any other school-(ased vaccination programb ('ercola, "# !).

"##:4 Aessica 1ahn et al., "##=4 'oscic)i et al., "## ). It is accepted that in young sexually active women the li)elihood of (eing exposed to HPV and su(seGuent infection is extremely high. In adolescents, the ma/ority of infections and su(seGuent corresponding cytological a(normalities are transient and of minimal significance in terms of oncogenic potential. Jnly a smaller percentage of adolescents will have persistent infections with higher ris) su(types and manifest high grade cytological a(normalities. In this small percentage of women who fail to clear these infections, persistent infection can predispose to the development of high-grade cancer precursor lesions and cervical cancer. .he Prevalence of HPV infection in pre-pu(ertal girls and college girls was also well documented in previous study (Eallo et al., "##!4 Powell et al., "##!). 0o, early detection of HPV infection and cervical cancer in this age group is reGuired. 'ost of HPV 56- detection uses cervical (iopsies, cervical swa( samples, and cervical scrapes as a 56- source, so patients might overcome the discomfort and the emotional stress of the colposcopic examination. -lso, in developing country li)e India, women and adolescents were rarely present for a routine pelvic exam if they were asymptomatic for disease. .herefore, a relia(le screening method which is non-invasive and comforta(le that could increase the participation rate and cervical cancer screening coverage in population with low compliance for pelvic exam is in need. ;rine sample is one such sample adopted for detection of HPV-56- and it has (een widely accepted. .he reason for using urine for detection of HPV is that the epithelial wall of the uterine cervix andHor vagina normally sheds exfoliated cells into the urine and if there are HPV infections, the shredded cells should contain viral genomes (Prusty et al., "##=). -nd also detection of HPV-56- in first voided urine sample from female urine sample is easier (ecause of the anatomical position of urethra to vagina, vulva and cervix. >arlier it was also demonstrated that HPV 56- could (e detected in urine samples of women with cervical precancer and cancer and the results showed a perfect match of HPV positivity (etween urine and cervical scrapes (2hudev 5as et al., ++").
