HPV-Associated Sexually Transmitted Infections in Cervical Cancer Screening: A Prospective Cohort Study.

High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs-O) are promoters to the development of cervical cancer (CC), especially when they co-exist. This study aims to determine the prevalence of the major STIs-O and the rate of co-infection in women previously diagnosed with HR-HPV infection. For this observational study, 254 women aged 25-65 years who were being followed up for HR-HPV infection (without a CC history) were recruited at a hospital's Gynaecology Department from February 2024 to November 2024.
