“…A dual peak head and neck HPV prevalence has also been found in Colombian men and women with HNSCC [7]. Rural, lower socioeconomic status female Colombian teenagers may have a 35.4 to 36% HPV prevalence [23,24]. For female Colombian teenagers four years after coitarche HPV prevalence increases to 42.5%, whereas other female Colombians have a HPV prevalence ranging from 14.8 to 28.2% [14,23].…”

“…Governments should expand HPV vaccination programs to include adolescent boys, MSM, and TW [42]. Similarly, indigenous populations in the Andean region may have reduced access to health programs and an earlier coitarche need targeted HPV education programs [24]. Educational programs should target incorrect beliefs, such as that HPV vaccine should be received after coitarche (61%, 76.7%, and 71.3%) [21].…”

“…Education programs should realize that rural-urban dichotomies vary from one nation to another: HPV prevalence in rural Bolivia can be <17%, but in rural Colombia >35%, and rural Peruvian parents decide quicker to accept HPV vaccination than do urban Peruvian parents [23][24][25]36]. Preventive health campaigns may highlight that hormonal contraception normally induces a hypoestrogenic state, removing a co-factor for HPV infection severity [23].…”

This commentary explores the distribution of human papilloma virus (HPV) and HPV-related diseases, and factors affecting attitudes towards HPV, HPV-related diseases, and HPV vaccination in the Latin American Andean region. Lack of knowledge of HPV, known negative attitudes or incorrect assumptions about HPV, HPV-related diseases, and HPV vaccination provide a basis upon which to develop targeted HPV awareness and preventive health media campaigns. For maximal effect, media campaigns should use the internet, radio, and television to address health care providers, parents, and students. Additional programming can be developed for clinics to use in-house with their clients. Ministries of Education, Finance, and Health all have roles to play to increase national HPV, HPV-related diseases, and HPV vaccination awareness.

Classical Molecular Tests Using Urine Samples as a Potential Screening Tool for Human Papillomavirus Detection in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Women

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main risk factor associated with the development of cervical cancer (CC); however, there are other factors, such as immunosuppression caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), that favor progression of the illness. This study was thus aimed at evaluating the functionality of classical PCR-based molecular tests for the generic identification of HPV DNA (GP5؉/GP6؉, MY09/MY11, and pU1M/2R primers, individually or in combination) using cervical and urine samples from 194 HIV-positive women. Infected samples were tested with type-specific primers for six high-risk types (HPV-16, -18, -31, -33, -45, and -58) and two low-risk types (HPV-6 and -11). HPV infection prevalence rates were 70.1% for the cervical samples and 63.9% for the urine samples. HPV-16 was the most prevalent viral type in the cervical and urine samples, with higher rates of multiple infections than single infections detected in such samples. HPV DNA detection by PCR (mainly with the pU1M/2R primer set) in urine samples was positively associated with abnormal cytological findings (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance/squamous intraepithelial lesions [ASCUS/SIL]). It was determined that the operative characteristics for detection of cytological abnormalities were similar for cervical and urine samples. This suggested using PCR for the detection of HPV DNA in urine samples as a potential screening strategy for CC prevention in future prevention and control programs along with currently implemented strategies for reducing the impact of the disease, i.e., urine samples are economical, are easy to collect, have wide acceptability among women, and have operative characteristics similar to those of cervical samples.
