The association between regular cannabis smoking and oral human papillomavirus infection in young adults: a cross-sectional study using NHANES data, 2011-2016
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the U.S., and the incidence rates of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers in the U.S. have doubled in the last 20 years. While cigarette smoking is a known risk factor for oral HPV infection, it is unknown if smoking cannabis is associated with greater occurrence of oral HPV infections. The objective of this study was to estimate the association between cannabis smoking status and oral HPV infection in U.S. young adults ages 18-30 years and examine whether this association differs by HPV vaccination status.
