The singular epidemiology of HPV infection among French Guianese women with normal cytology

Abstract: BackgroundIn French Guiana, cervical cancer is the second most frequent cancer in females. The objective of the present study was to describe the prevalence of HPV infections in women with normal cervical cytology living in the remote villages of French Guiana.MethodsBefore the study, the study team communicated in the remote villages on the importance of screening. All women from the target population were offered to participate. They signed informed consent during inclusion and then had a concomitant HPV-tes… Show more

“…The estimated rate of HPV infection was also higher than that reported in HIV-negative women living in the same area. A study conducted in the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe showed a prevalence of HR-HPV of 36% among healthy women [29], and two recent studies reported that HPV prevalence in French Guiana reached 35% in women with normal cytology [30,31]. Based on this indirect comparison between HIV-positive and HIV-negative women, and despite the fact that the expected high rate of HPV infection in the French Caribbean population [29] could have minimized the impact of the co-infection, the present study strengthens the concept of an association between HIV and HPV infections.…”

“…The main HPV genotypes were HPV 53(3.52%), 68(3.33%), 52(2.59%), 31(2.22%) and 16 (1.85%). This study also reported a prevalence of HPV 16 of 6.8% among HPV-infected women [ 36 ].…”

“…Information on HPV genotypes in cancer samples is not yet available in French Guiana. However, we have shown that among women living on the Maroni and Oyapock rivers, the prevalence of HPV was particularly high and that the genotypes found by performing HPV testing were quite different and justified the use of nonavalent vaccines to prevent cervical cancer in these remote areas of high prevalence [ 3 , 6 , 7 ]. Moreover, the proportion of abnormal smears was higher than what is observed in mainland France.…”

“…Between 2012 and 2014, an HPV prevalence study was conducted in women aged 20–65 years living in these remote parts of French Guiana. HPV16, 18, 31, 52, 58, and 68 were the most frequent high-risk genotypes among these women [ 3 , 6 ]. The objective of the present study was to describe the phylogeny of E6 and E7 sequences of the most common high-risk HPV genotypes in these regions.…”
