“…In Japan, the prevalence of high-risk HPV infection in female sex workers as detected by DNA methodology was 48%, as compared with only 6% in the general population, 11 while in Australia, there was no significant difference. 12 This disparity is thought to be related to certain risk-taking behaviours in the respective regions, particularly the use of condoms. According to our current study, the prevalence of abnormal Pap smears in the general population was very similar to that reported in 1999 in our previous study.…”

“…25 Hal yang berbeda didapatkan pada penelitian Tideman di Sydney pada tahun 2003 dimana hanya 56% WPS-L di Sydney merupakan perokok aktif. 26 Penelitian Odukoya di Nigeria pada tahun 2013 didaptkan 72% WPS tidak pernah merokok. 27 Perbedaan ini disebabkan karena peraturan larangan merokok pada lokasi penelitian tersebut.…”

“…Peraturan tentang larangan merokok di ruang publik, larangan menjual rokok pada anak dibawah umur dan harga rokok yang tinggi dapat mengurangi hampir 50% perokok aktif di Australia dalam kurun waktu 1980-2007. 26 Mayoritas WPS di Nigeria mengkonsumsi alkohol dan hanya sebagian kecil yang merokok. 27 Merokok merupakan faktor penting karena menurut teori, wanita yang merokok memiliki resiko 2 kali lebih besar dapat terkena kanker serviks dibandingkan dengan wanita yang tidak merokok.Pada lendir serviks wanita perokok ditemukan zat benzyrene dari asap rokok yang menyebabkan sel-sel Langerhans yang ada pada serviks tidak berfungsi baik, sehingga daya tahan serviks terhadap infeksi menurun.…”

“…19 Perbedaan lainnya juga tampak pada penelitian Tideman di Sydney didapatkan hanya 17% WPS yang mengalami kelainan sel epitelial. 26 Hal ini disebabkan oleh regulasi prostitusi pada masing-masing negara, karenadi Australia prostitusi menjadi pekerjaan legal yang diatur secara ketat oleh hukum sehingga WPS mendapatkan pengawasan kesehatan oleh pemerintah secara berkelanjutan. …”

Indirect female sex workers have a higher risk of cervical cancer. The aim of this research was to figure out description of cervical smear examination in indirect female sex workers at hotspot Maredan Tenayan Raya Pekanbaru. Population of this experiment were all indirect female sex workers at hotspot Maredan Tenayan Raya Pekanbaru and samples were taken with total sampling method. The result showed that there were 44 people consist 4% diagnosed with HSIL, 25% were diagnosed with LSIL, 30% diagnosed with ASCUS and 41% with negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (Bacterial vaginosis, Trichomonas vaginalis, Candidiasis presents).

“…HPV has more than twenty types; the types that occur in the genital tract are predominantly acquired through sexual intercourse, and up to 50% of sexually active women will be infected at some time [1,2]. A direct connection has been shown between cervical cancer and HPV infection, whereby 93% of cervical cancer specimens contain HPV DNA [3].…”

Objective: Human papillomavirus virus (HPV) is the major causative factor for cervical cancer, and sex workers are at high risk for HPV infection. In this study, we aimed to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of HPV infection among female sex workers (FSWs). Materials and Methods:The study included 239 brothel-based FSWs who work in Izmir, Turkey. A self-administered questionnaire for risk factors was completed, and cervical brush samples were taken for HPV detection and typing. HPV detection and typing were performed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse hybridization methods. The risk factors related to HPV infection were determined by multivariate analysis. Results:The prevalence of HPV among FSWs was 20.1%. HPV18 was the most common type (40%), followed by HPV16 (17%) and HPV50 (15%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that being less than 30 years of age, having a high frequency of sexual contacts, smoking, and lack of condom use were significantly associated with HPV infection. Conclusion:FSWs have a high prevalence of HPV infection and are at increased risk for cervical cancer. As they are a priority group for active follow-up, national strategies for reducing HPV among FSWs and regular cervical cancer screening programs should be implemented for this population. Key Words: Human papillomavirus, Sex workers ÖzetAmaç: İnsan papillomavirus (HPV) infeksiyonu servikal kanserin major nedenlerinden biridir ve seks işçileri HPV infeksiyonu için öncelikli risk grubudur. Bu çalışmada bölgemizde seks işçilerinde HPV infeksiyonu prevalansı ve risk faktörlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem:Genelevde çalışan 239 kadın işçi çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Her işçi dağıtılan anket formunu doldurmuş, HPV analizi ve tiplendirme için servikal fırça örnekleri alınmıştır. HPV tespiti ve tiplendirme multiplex polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (PCR) ve revers hibridizasyon yöntemi ile yapılmıştır. HPV infeksiyonu ile ilgili risk faktörleri multivariyans analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Bulgular:Genelev kadınlarında HPV prevalansı %20.1 olarak bulundu. En sık saptanan serotip HPV18 (%40) idi ve onu sırasıyla HPV16 (%17) , HPV50 (%15) izledi. Sık cinsel temas, sigara kullanımı, bariyer kullanılmaması ve 30 yaşın altında olmak HPV infeksiyonu ile anlamlı olarak ilişkili bulundu.Sonuç: Genelev kadınlarında HPV infeksiyonu prevalansı ve servikal kanser riski yüksektir. Aktif izlem gerektiren bu grupta, HPV sıklığı-nın azaltılması için ulusal stratejiler ve düzenli servikal kanser tarama programlarının uygulanması gereklidir.
