Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer incidence in the New Independent States (NIS) is linked to HPV, a common STD, with rising STD prevalence in the region.
- A study involving 3,175 women from Russia, Belarus, and Latvia explored their sexual habits and HPV prevalence through surveys and HPV testing.
- Results showed that women attending STD clinics had a higher HPV detection rate compared to other groups, with independent risk factors for HPV including young age and patient category, while having fewer sexual partners and a nonsmoking partner offered protective benefits.
