Cervical human papillomavirus prevalence according to socioeconomic and demographic characteristics in a large Danish screening population.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) prevalence according to socioeconomic and demographic characteristics in a Danish screening population.

Methods: We used data from HPV SCREEN DENMARK, which was an implementation study embedded into the routine cervical cancer screening programme. During 2017-2020, women aged 30-59 years screened in the Region of Southern Denmark were offered HPV testing or cytology.

Incident detection of human papillomavirus - a prospective follow-up study among Tanzanian women with a focus on HIV status.

Background: The causative role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical carcinogenesis is well established; however, prospective studies examining high-risk(HR)-HPV acquisition among adult women in HIV-prevalent settings are limited.

Methods: We conducted a prospective study among women (25-60 years) attending cervical cancer screening in Tanzania. Cervical specimens obtained at enrolment and follow-up were tested for HPV.

HPV types, cervical high-grade lesions and risk factors for oncogenic human papillomavirus infection among 3416 Tanzanian women.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to assess the prevalence and type-specific distribution of cervical high-risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) among women with normal and abnormal cytology, and to describe risk factors for HR HPV among HIV-positive and HIV-negative women in Tanzania.

Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in existing cervical cancer screening clinics in Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salaam. Cervical specimens were obtained from women aged 25-60 years.
