In the Research Letter entitled “Prevalence of Oral HPV Infection in Unvaccinated Men and Women in the United States, 2009-2016”1 published in the September 10, 2019, issue of JAMA, data were incorrect in the Table and the Discussion section of the text. In the Table, in the “2015-2016” column of the “Women, %” section, the values reported for black, non-Hispanic women and Hispanic women were transposed; the value for black, non-Hispanic women should have been reported as 13.4 and the value for Hispanic women as 17.8. In the first sentence of the Discussion section, the value reported as 37% should have been 38%. This article has been corrected online.
