Molecular genotyping of human papillomavirus l1 gene in low-risk and high-risk populations in Bangkok.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections in Thailand are a public health concern, but information on HPV infection in sex workers and men who have sex with men (MSM) is limited. The aim of this study was to measure the prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV among low- and high-risk, HIV-negative populations.

Methods: A total of 300 participants were categorized as general women, female sex workers, MSM, and MSM sex workers.
