Introduction:The aim of this work is describe the epidemiology of HVP amongst female inmates. Material and methods:A total of 82 women were studied in a cross sectional study. Epidemiological data were collected through a direct interview. Samples of cervical cells were taken. HPV and genotypes were identified by molecular test.Results: Global HPV prevalence was 20.7%. Fifteen different genotypes were identified 60% low risk HPV, 26.7 % high risk HPV and 13.3 % were not classified in any of the two groups. Types 6/11were the most common. 23.5% (04/17) of HPV positives samples had multiple infections, 3 with 2 genotypes and one with 3. Association between infection with HPV and smoking was found, p= 0.0258, OR 3.79 IC 95% (1.01-15.58).
