“…Articles reporting the use of HC are more common in recent years and show lower estimates. 4,8,22,25,31,41 They are studies with larger samples (956 to 2,300 women) than those using PCR (84 to 2,050 women). Only Trottier et al 61 (2006) and Rosa et al 44 (2008) studied samples with more than 1,000 women, which may have affected the precision of their estimates.…”

In those women tested with HC, the prevalence of HPV infection ranged from 10.4% 22 to 14.3%.…”

The cytology techniques available use different classifications leading to different HPV prevalence estimates. However, considering the studies individually according to the detection technique used, the HPV prevalence has increased. HPV16 was the most prevalent type among women, regardless of the cytology result. The concentration of studies in the Southeast region, especially in metropolitan regions, evidences that further investigations are needed to improve information coverage of Brazilian women.
