9). In summary, differing associations were found between HPV infection and the number of sexual partners after stratification of HPV types by oncogenicity potential. There is an emerging pattern that the number of partners in one’s lifetime tends to correlate strongly with prevalent HR infections [3–7]. Conversely, life-time number of partners correlates more weakly with prevalent LR infections [3, 6, 7, 9], or not at all [4, 5]. In studies of incident HPV infections, the magnitude of the association between the number of recent partners, or sex with new partners, was either equivalent for HR and LR types [20], or somewhat stronger for HR types [8].

Th2 cells secrete interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13 and other cytokines and help antigen-primed B lymphocytes to differentiate into plasma cells, secrete effector antibody molecules of humoral responses or develop as memory B cells. Th1 cells secrete interferon (IFN)-␥ and create a milieu in which key cytotoxic effector macrophages, natural killer cells and cytotoxic CD8ϩ T lymphocytes are activated generating CMI and memory T cells. A third category of T cells, generally described as regulatory T cells, with the phenotype CD4ϩCD25ϩ that express the signature transcription factor Foxp3 and usually secrete IL-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-␤ are important in controlling whether there will be a response to antigen.

The first is that the variability might be caused by differences in the sexual transmissibility, such that HR types are more transmissible than LR types. Second, the LR types may have a lower likelihood of persistence than the HR types. Kjaer et al. [4] also proposed the latter hypothesis in their Danish study of a population-based random sample of women in their twenties. In that study, prevalent HR-HPV infections were strongly correlated with the life-time number of partners, but no such association was observed for LR types [4].
