Saliva sample screening: analysis of qPCR HPV results. A) Three samples were found to harbor HPV DNA: HPV16-positive samples (S5, S38); One sample was HPV-positive (S7). B) qPCR analysis revealed HPV-positive samples had values well above the established cutoff value (> 0.001 copies/genome). C) All three HPV-positive samples were male, representing 2.5% of the total (n = 118). Two of the three HPV-positive samples were from White participants. All three HPV-positive samples were from the CCSD cohort (ages: 12-17); Both HPV16-positive samples were obtained from 14-year old participants, while the HPV18-positive sample was obtained from a 15-year old.
