Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection worldwide, which spreads via contact with infected genital, anal, and oral/pharyngeal areas (oral sex) owing to diverse manners of sexual intercourse. In this study, we devised an oral HPV detection method using mouthwash waste fluids that causes less psychological resistance to visiting the outpatient otolaryngology departments. We successfully detected only the specific unique reverse sequencing probe (using pyro-genotyping) and identified the nine genotypes of HPV targeted for vaccination by pyrosequencing the mouthwash waste fluids of non-head and neck cancer patient volunteers ( n = 52). A relatively large number (11/52) of mouthwash waste fluids tested positive for HPV (21.2%; genotype 6, n = 1; 11, n = 1; 16, n = 1; and 18, n = 8). These results surpassed the sensitivity observed testing the same specimens using the conventional method (1/52, 1.9%). Our method (pyro-genotyping) was developed using nine HPV genotypes targeted for vaccination and the results were highly sensitive compared to those of the conventional method. This less expensive, high-throughput, and simple method can be used for detecting oral HPV infection with fewer socio-psychological barriers.
