HPV and Cervical Cancer Screening Awareness: A Case-control Study in Nigeria

Abstract

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and other germane parameters are considered the leading cause of cervical cancer in women in this study. Our aim is to create awareness about HPV and cervical cancer among both males and females in Nigeria. We developed a risk-score (HAT-Human Papillomavirus Assessment Test) which was used to determine the risk factor(s) with the highest/lowest risk factors for HPV associated infections in both men and women, and cervical cancer progression in women.
