High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) play a vital role in the development of precancerous changes or cancer in the uterine cervix. Prophylactic vaccination has proven to be an effective measure to reduce the incidence of precancerous changes in the uterine cervix and thereby also of cervical cancer. A population investigation was performed in Slovenia with the aim of determining the level of knowledge and awareness of women about cervical cancer, Pap test, HPV infection and preventive vaccination. The investigation was executed by computer-aided telephone inquiry in the period from 5-22 September 2006 on a sample of 500 women aged from 18 to 55 years from all regions of Slovenia. From the results it may be concluded that, in Slovenia, there is an urgent need to provide the lay population and medical community with relevant and accurate information on HPV infection, on early detection of cervical cancer and preventive vaccination.
高危型人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）在子宫颈癌前病变或癌症的发展过程中起着至关重要的作用。预防性疫苗接种已被证明是降低子宫颈癌前病变发病率从而也降低宫颈癌发病率的有效措施。在斯洛文尼亚进行了一项人口调查，目的是确定女性对宫颈癌、巴氏试验、HPV感染和预防性疫苗接种的知识水平和认识程度。该调查于2006年9月5日至22日期间通过计算机辅助电话询问对来自斯洛文尼亚所有地区的500名年龄在18至55岁之间的女性样本进行。从结果可以得出结论，在斯洛文尼亚，迫切需要向普通民众和医学界提供有关HPV感染、宫颈癌早期检测和预防性疫苗接种的相关且准确的信息。
