However, debate exists about the prevalence of high-risk oral HPV (HR-HPV) and its associated risk factors. This study evaluated the distribution of genotypes and associated risk factors of oral HR-HPV infection in the normal oral mucosa of the Pakistani female population with general gynecological problems.

- This study focused on the genotypic distribution and transmission risk factors of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in the Mardan population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, with a significant number of participants being internally displaced people and refugees.
- The results revealed that genotype 3a was the most prevalent, especially among females, while genotype 1 was the least common, and a correlation was found between genotype 3 and lower viral loads.
- The analysis indicated demographic trends, showing higher prevalence in middle-aged individuals and regional variations in genotypes, particularly in males living in specific areas of Mardan.
