Abstract
The article discusses the study which examines the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) antibodies in males and females in England. The researchers have tested the specific HPV antibodies using a multiplexed competitive Luminex assay and have analyzed the seropositivity and geometric mean titers. The study implies that HPV antibody titers do not decline with age, but lower seroprevalence in older females may reflect the changes in their sexual behaviors.
