College women, HPV genotyping and sexual behavior before HPV vaccination: Results from samples stored for a long +
Resum
HPV is the sexually transmitted agent most common among young people, like college students. The aimof study was to associate sexual behavior characteristics of women with HPV, detected in genital samplestaken before the introduction of the HPV vaccine. Female students during 2001–2005 donated genitalsamples and the samples were re-analyzed in 2013 for HPV genotyping by RT-PCR. The frozen storage ofthe students’ genital samples allowed the detection of HPV DNA and its genotyping after years of samplecollection. HPV prevalence was 22%, HPV16 3.9%, and HPV18 1.1%. Age, multiple sexual partners and thepartner’s age at first sexual intercourse were significantly associated to HPV. Students with = 3 sexualpartners and who did not use condom had 12.8 higher odds of being HPV positive. These results madepossible the analysis of HPV prevalence changes, before HPV vaccine introduction.- Tema:
