“…Conflicting reports from cross-sectional studies demonstrating protective effects of condom use against low-risk HPV (36) or high-risk HPV infection only (37,38) suggest that condoms may confer varying levels of protection against different HPV types. However, whether this means that genital HPV types have altered biological tropisms and can be found, differentially, on specific anatomic genital sites that are not all protected by a condom still needs to be clarified (37)(38)(39).…”

“…HPV types were analyzed individually or in groups according to a classification based on their oncogenic potential. High-risk HPV types included those genotypes that are most frequently found in cervical tumors: HPV 16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59, and 68 (1). All other individual types that were identified with the line blot assay were classified as low-risk HPV types: 6,11,26,40,42,53,54,55,57,66,73,82,83, and 84.…”

Background: Previous findings regarding risk factors for human papillomavirus (HPV) persistence, other than viral determinants, identified from prospective cohort studies have been inconsistent in part because study designs have differed with respect to differing HPV detection methods and varying lengths of follow-up time. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to continue the search for epidemiologic risk factors of persistent cervical HPV infections and determine what behaviors differed between those women with transient HPV infections and those women who cannot clear their type-specific HPV infections. Methods: Female university students (n = 621) in Montreal were followed for 24 months at 6-month intervals. At each visit, a cervical cell specimen was collected. HPV DNA was detected using the MY09/MY11 PCR protocol and 27 HPV genotypes were identified by the line blot assay

“…Early onset of sexual intercourse is associated with increase lifetime prevalence of sexual partners, risk of exposure to sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS and unwanted pregnancy [3]. Undergraduate Students, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia According to 2011 EDHS, 29% of women had first sexual intercourse before age 15 years old and 62% of women before age 18 years old.…”

Abstract:Background: Early onset of sexual intercourse associate with increased lifetime prevalence of sexual partners that increase the risk of exposure to sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy. Alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, or use of illicit drugs by youths associate with increased risks of sexual intercourse, multiple sexual partners and lower rates of condom use. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the proportion of sexual initiation and associated factors among Addis Ababa university undergraduate students. Methods: A cross-sectional institution based study design was conducted from November to December 2013 at Addis Ababa university undergraduate students. Multistage sampling technique was used to draw 1012 sample students. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaire method supplemented by focus group discussion. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression statistical analyses were employed to examine the relationship between sexual initiation and selected exposure factors. Statistical significant association was determined using 95% confidence interval of adjusted odd ratio and p value less than 0.05. Results: Thirty nine percent of the participants had sexual intercourse at the time of the survey, of which 129 (34.7%) were females. The mean age at first sexual intercourse was 17.6(±1.9). Majority 262 (27.4%) of sexually active students had their first sexual intercourse before the age of 18 years old. Being male [AOR=1.4; 95% CI: 1.1, 2.0], alcohol drinking [AOR=2.8; 95% CI: 2.0, 3.9], khat chewing [AOR=2.0; 95% CI: 1.4, 2.9] and watching pornographic movies [AOR=2.9; 95%CI: 1.9, 4.4] significantly associated with sexual initiation. Conclusion: There is high level of sexual initiation among the study participants. Significant proportion of students had multiple sexual partner and sexual practice without condom with non-regular sexual partners. The university and local health bodies should work together to address the identified risky sexual practices with particular focus on behavior change communication.

The objective was to describe the prevalence and factors associated with uterine cervical cancer (CA) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) IntroductionWorldwide, cervical cancer is one of the most frequent malignant neoplasms in women, with 400,000 cases diagnosed per year, second only to breast cancer 1,2,3 . In Brazil, 20,690 new cases are expected in 2005, with a risk of 22 cases per 100,000 women. It is the most common neoplasm in the North of Brazil (23/100,000). In the South (31/100,000), Central West (23/100,000), Southeast (22/100,000), and Northeast (18/100,000) it is the second most frequent tumor, and every day ten women die from this disease 4 .In 1996, the Brazilian Ministry of Health, with consultancy from the Ontario Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation (Canada), drafted the National Cervical Cancer and Breast Cancer Program (known as Programa Viva Mulher), which was implemented in 1997 5,6 . Since the highest incidence of cervical cancer is from 35 to 49 years of age, the Program extended the safety range by ten years (above and below) so as to conduct activities targeting women from 25 to 59 years 6 .However, the first infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) generally occurs at the beginning of sexual activity 7,8 , and since sexual debut has occurred at increasingly early ages, this creates a window of approximately ten years between contact with the virus and the first Pap smear.Many cases of HPV infection do not cause symptoms and resolve spontaneously 9 . However, persistent cases may develop into precursor ARTIGO ARTICLE
