Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is estimated to be the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States.1 HPV prevalence has been found to be highest among young persons within the first few years after sexual debut.2-6 However, there are no data on the prevalence of HPV among women across a broad age range and representative of the US population.Keywords
