“…Nonetheless, in our study we did not find any case of genital infection by N. gonorrhoeae, although capture assays permit simultaneous detection of HPV and other STD with high sensitivity [23].…”

The aim of this study was to verify the presence of bacterial vaginosis (BV), Candida sp, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, to determine the prevalence of tobacco use and measure vaginal pH (VpH) in pregnant women with (n = 26) and without (n = 26) human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and make comparisons between these 2 groups. HPV, C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae were diagnosed using hybrid capture, BV using clinical criteria, and Candida sp via cultures. A digital pH meter was used to measure VpH. The frequencies of Candida sp were 19.2 and 23.1% (p = 1), and VpH was 4.4 ± 0.4 and 4.3 ± 0.4 (p = 0.23), in the HPV-positive and HPV-negative groups, respectively. Compared to the group of pregnant women without HPV infection, those with HPV infection had a significantly higher prevalence of tobacco use (50 vs. 11.5%; p = 0.006), BV (53.8 vs. 15.4%; p = 0.007), and C. trachomatis (34.6 vs. 7.7%; p = 0.039). No case of N. gonorrhoeae was diagnosed. All cases of C. trachomatis and BV had high-grade HPV infection.

“…Our detection rate of HPV in commercial sex workers (47%) was higher than the 14.8% of Molano et al [2002], 28.7% of Figueroa et al [1995], and 30.6% of Chan et al [2002] but was similar with 48.4% of Ishi et al [2000]. Some studies have reported that more than one genital HPV genotype is found in >50% of sexually active adults as a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) [Koutsky, 1997].…”

Because of the diversity in human papillomavirus (HPV) distribution, according to the population and region, detailed investigations of HPV genotypes are important in designing more effective HPV vaccines for any given country. HPV DNA oligonucleotide microarray was used to investigate the distribution of HPV genotypes among commercial sex workers. The prevalence of HPV in Korean commercial sex workers was 47%, with HPV-16 and HPV-51 as the dominant genotypes. HPV subtypes in 148 commercial sex workers comprised 70 with one genotype, 42 with two genotypes, 17 with three genotypes, and 19 with four or more genotypes. HPV-40, the most dominant low-risk genotype, was not detected in single-infection commercial sex workers. All women with multiple infections of low-risk genotypes had the HPV-40 genotype. This molecular epidemiological study of genital HPV will be useful for the development of a favorable strategy to prevent the spread of this potentially serious infection.

“…Studies from both the developed and developing countries have confirmed this, which suggests that sex workers should have more frequent Pap smears. [8][9][10][11] It is also known that the disparity between the HPV infection rates in sex workers and the general population varies considerably depending on the country. In Japan, the prevalence of high-risk HPV infection in female sex workers as detected by DNA methodology was 48%, as compared with only 6% in the general population, 11 while in Australia, there was no significant difference.…”
