abstract = {Most people acquire Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and certain
human papillomaviruses (HPVs) during their lifetime.
HPV-related oropharyngeal carcinomas have increased in
recent decades, particularly among men. The role of
coinfection with viruses like EBV on HPV outcomes is
unclear. We investigated potential associations between EBV
serology and longitudinal outcomes of oral HPV infections in
men.This study included 119 men from the Finnish Family HPV
Study who were followed up for 3 years. Blood and oral
cavity samples were collected at baseline, 12-, 24-, and
36-month follow-up visits. HPV was genotyped with the
Multimetrix assay, and the serum IgG antibodies of EBV
proteins Zebra, EA-D, EBNA, and VCAp18 were measured with
fluorescent bead-based multiplex serology. Univariate
regression analysis was used to measure the strength of the
association between different variables.Most participants
$(99.2\%;$ n = 118) were EBV-seropositive with stable
antibody titers throughout the follow-up. Self-reported
history of atopy was positively associated with elevated
EBNA-1 levels, with OR 7.43 $(95\%$ CI: 1.39-39.76). EBV
seropositivity with high titers and elevated EA-D levels
alone increased the risk of type-specific oral HPV
persistence for Types 16, 18, 33, and 51, with OR 4.20
$(95\%$ CI: 1.09-16.19) and OR 6.23 $(95\%$ CI: 1.19-32.75),
respectively.Most of the participants were EBV-seropositive
as expected. Elevated EA-D antibody levels and being
EBV-seropositive with high titers significantly increased
the risk of type-specific oral HPV persistence among these
men.},
