Abstract
Genomes of TT virus (TTV) and TTV-like minivirus DNA were detected in 80% and 61% of cervical swabs from healthy women, respectively, regardless of concurrent human papillomavirus infection. These results show that the potential exists for sexual transmission of TTV and related viruses.Keywords
