To determine the prevalence and risk factors for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in female sex workers (FSW) in Lima, Peru.
Cross-sectional study of 87 FSW. Information regarding demographics, sex work practices, and genital and blood specimens was collected.
Forty-four (50.6%) of 87 FSW had HPV detected in cervical swabs. The prevalence of coinfection by two or more HPV types was 39.1%. Thirty-one (35.6%) were infected by at least one high-risk HPV type, representing 70.5% of women with HPV infection. HPV infection was associated with younger age but not with any demographic or sexual characteristics.
Our study confirms the high prevalence of HPV infection in FSW reported by other groups and suggests that brothel-based FSW may be at lower risk for acquiring high-risk HPV infection.
在秘鲁利马,确定女性性工作者(FSW)中人类乳头瘤病毒(HPV)感染的流行率和危险因素。
对 87 名 FSW 进行横断面研究。收集有关人口统计学、性工作实践以及生殖器和血液标本的信息。
87 名 FSW 中有 44 名(50.6%)在宫颈拭子中检测到 HPV。两种或更多 HPV 类型的合并感染率为 39.1%。31 名(35.6%)至少感染了一种高危 HPV 型,占 HPV 感染女性的 70.5%。HPV 感染与年龄较小有关,但与任何人口统计学或性特征无关。
我们的研究证实了其他研究小组报告的 FSW 中 HPV 感染的高流行率,并表明基于妓院的 FSW 可能感染高危 HPV 的风险较低。
