“…However, female sex workers seem more aware of prevention strategies and more up to date on cervical cancer screening than non-female sex workers 10. It is known that the overall HPV prevalence is high in this population, affecting approximately 42.7% of female sex workers (with a range of 2.3% to 100%),12 but little is known about HPV prevalence in Brazil 13. Regarding male sex workers (MSW), information characterising their practices, the contexts where they live and their needs is very limited.…”

“…In this context, it is important to evaluate the influence of TV and HPV co-infection in the genital tract of women without cervical cancer to understand these cofactors. However, the differences in prevalence are observed globally, with 1.9% in Busan/South Korea [ 24 ], 3.1% in Shanghai/China [ 25 ], 5.6% in female sex workers in the Midwest region of Brazil [ 26 ], 5.7% in Bahia/Brazil [ 27 ], 31.4% in Kenya [ 28 ], 18.8% in Beijing/China [ 29 ], and 24% in the rural area of Ngaramtoni /Tanzania [ 13 ]. The results presented here demonstrate a 27% co-infection prevalence of TV and HPV, which is in line with the studies mentioned above.…”

“…Thus, the results in studies on the co-infection of HPV and TV in the genital tract of women without cervical cancer are justi ed. However, the differences in prevalence are observed globally, with 1.9% in Busan/South Korea [24], 3.1% in Shanghai/China [25], 5.6% in female sex workers in the Midwest region of Brazil [26], 5.7% in Bahia/Brazil [27], 31.4% in Kenya [28], 18.8% in Beijing/China [29], and 24% in the rural area around Ngaramtoni /Tanzania [13]. The results presented here demonstrate a 27% co-infection prevalence of HPV and TV, which is in line with the studies mentioned previously.…”
