Abstract
Objectives
Several studies have documented the HPV genotypes in the Senegalese general population. The objective was to explore the HPV genotype distribution in Senegalese FSWs in order to assess the potential relevance of currently-available vaccines.
Methods
Vaginal swabs samples collected as part of the National Integrated Biological and Behavioral Survey in 14 regions throughout the country were randomly selected for HPV testing using bead-based multiplex genotyping (TS-MPG).
Results
Among the 436 FSW samples analyzed, the overall HPV prevalence was 79.8% (N = 348), with 70.1% (N = 244) cases presenting as multiple infections. High Risk HPV genotypes affecting at least 10% of FSWs included in order of decreasing frequency: 52, 16, 35, 51, 33, 31, 18, and 45. Sixty-seven (15.4%) FSWs were HIV positive and they were significantly more affected by HPV (94% vs 77%; p < 0.01) than seronegative FSWs as well as infections with multiple genotype.
Conclusion
The present study indicates that FSW in Senegal experience a high burden of HPV infection with a high frequency of coinfection with HIV and multiple HPV genotypes. Public health interventions for this key population should include an earlier cervical dysplasia/cancer detection and preventative measures such as vaccination programs that must consider the HPV genotype distribution.
期刊介绍:
The official Journal of the International Papillomavirus Society Papillomavirus Research (PVR), the Journal of HPV and other Small DNA Tumor Viruses publishes innovative papers related to all aspects of papillomaviruses and other small DNA tumor viruses. The official journal of the International Papillomavirus Society, PVR is an open access publication that aims to bring together virologists, immunologists, epidemiologists and clinicians working in the booming field of HPV and animal papillomaviruses, polyomaviruses and other small DNA tumor viruses and their associated diseases, in order to foster and facilitate interdisciplinary communication. The journal welcomes original research articles, reviews, short communications, opinion articles and regional update reports on papillomaviruses and other tumor viruses in the following sections: a. Biology of papillomaviruses and related viruses from life cycle to cancer b. Epidemiology etiology and natural history studies c. Natural and induced immunity including vaccine research d. Intervention studies and strategies including i. Clinical studies and trials ii. HPV treatments iii. HPV vaccination programs iv. Diagnostics and screening e. Infection and disease prevention, modeling studies f. Guidelines and public health recommendations g. HPV Studies in special populations Regional and local studies on these viruses.
