We assessed the agreement between linear array HPV genotyping (LA-HPV) and HPV-28 for detection of 27 HPV genotypes in 410 stored anogenital samples (75 anal samples, 335 physician-collected cervical samples) collected over 5 years from 410 individuals (13 men, 397 women), including 202 HIV-seropositive individuals. HPV DNA was detected in 393 (95.9%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 93.4-97.4) and 382 (93.2%, 95% CI: 90.3-95.3) samples with HPV-28 and LA-HPV (p = 0.13), respectively, for a good agreement of 96.3% (κ = 0.65). Of the 10503 HPV typing results, 10195 (780 positive, 9577 negative) were concordant, for an agreement of 97.1% (95% CI: 96.7-97.4) and an excellent of κ = 0.82 (95% CI: 0.80-0.84). The mean type-specific concordance for 27 genotypes was 97.0%, 95% CI: 95.8-98.5 (κ = 0.86 ± 0.07, 95% CI: 0.83-0.88). Excellent agreement was obtained individually for all high-risk genotypes (κ = 0.81-0.97) and for most other genotypes except for types 42, 44, 54, 68, and 69. The mean number of types per sample in discordant samples detected with LA-HPV (3.0, 95% CI: 2.7-3.4) was greater than in concordant samples (1.4, 95% CI: 1.3-1.5; p< 0.001). In conclusion, HPV-28 compared favorably with LA-HPV, but was more frequently positive for HPV42 and HPV68.
