“…To overcome this problem, we recommend the use of a nine-valent vaccine (9vHPV) instead of the bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines. The 9vHPV vaccine contains type 6,11,16,18,31,33,45,52, and 58 which was approved by the FDA in December 2014, and by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in June 2015 [100].…”

“…18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59, 66, 68, 73 and 82 are considered high risk genotypes, whereas low-risk genotypes include HPV- 6,11,34,40,42,43,44,54,61,70,72,81, and 89 [4]. There are three available HPV vaccines licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA): quadrivalent HPV vaccine, including HPV types 6,11,16 and 18 (Gardasil®, produced by Merck); bivalent HPV vaccine, including HPV types 16 and 18 (Cervarix™, produced by GlaxoSmithKline), and nine-valent vaccine, including HPV types 6,11,16,18,31,33,45,52 and 58 (Gardasil 9; produced by Merck) [5,6]. Previous reports suggested that 65%-100% of the sexually active population are exposed to HPV during their lifespan [7].…”

Background: Female sex workers (FSWs) are amongst the most susceptible groups to acquire human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and consequently, to develop cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to provide estimates of the pooled prevalence of HPV infection and the distribution of HPV types among FSWs across the world. Methods: Five computerized databases were searched for relevant studies published since the inception date of databases to September 2019. The pooled HPV prevalence was calculated by the random effect model described by DerSimonian-Laird. Subgroup analysis was performed to identify the probable sources of heterogeneity. The meta-analysis was performed using the “Metaprop” function in the R package Meta. Results: Sixty-two studies involving 21402 FSWs from 33 countries were included in this meta-analysis, and the pooled HPV prevalence was 42.60% (95% confidence interval (CI): 38.58%-46.71%). HPV-16 (10.16%, 95% CI: 8.20%–12.51%), HPV-52 (7.98%, 95% CI: 5.91%–10.70%), and HPV-53 (6.01%, 95% CI: 4.40%–8.15%) were the most common high-risk HPV types identified among FSWs. The pooled estimated prevalence of HPV infection among FSWs before and after 2010 were slightly different, 43.64% (95% CI: 36.12%-51.46%) and 41.97% (95% CI: 37.28%-46.81%), respectively. Conclusion: Due to the high prevalence of HPV infection, particularly with high-risk types, FSWs have a great susceptibility to the development of cervical and vaginal cancers. Furthermore, they can transmit their infection to their clients, which may result in a high prevalence of HPV and the incidence of HPV-associated malignancies among the general population.
