Prevalence and Risk Factors for High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Infection and Cervical Disorders: Baseline Findings From an Human Papillomavirus Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A persistent infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is a prerequisite for the development of cervical neoplasms; however, most studies have focused on risk factors associated with HPV-16 and HPV-18 only.

Objectives

We assessed the association of risk factors with the prevalence of HPV-16, HPV-18, and non-16/18 HR-HPV infection and with the occurrence of cervical lesions in the baseline of a cohort study of HPV persistence in a Mexican population.

Methods

Cross-sectional study within the baseline of a 5-year dynamic cohort study of HR-HPV persistence in women with an abnormal cytology study result from 2015 to 2021. HPV DNA was detected using the Anyplex II HPV 28 kit. Data on lifestyle, sociodemographic, and reproductive factors were assessed
