Prevalence and genotype distribution of genital human papillomavirus infection in female sex workers in the world: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Background Female sex workers (FSWs) are amongst the most susceptible groups to acquire human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and consequently, to develop cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to provide estimates of the pooled prevalence of HPV infection and the distribution of HPV types among FSWs across the world. Methods Five computerized databases were searched for relevant studies published since the inception date of databases to S… Show more

“…FSWs have more than two-times the risk of acquiring genital HPV infections and increased prevalence of abnormal pap smears than women in the general population [ 7 ]. In 2020, a meta-analysis of 62 studies involving 21,402 FSWs from 33 countries showed a wide range of prevalence of genital HPV infections (5.5–84.7%) [ 8 ]. In Senegal, 79.8% of FSW had vaginal HPV infections and 70.1% of those with HPV infection had multiple genotypes [ 9 ].…”

“…8 Two HR-HPV genotypes, HPV16 and HPV18, account for roughly 70% of all cervical cancer cases. 9 Other genotypes associated with cervical adenocarcinomas include HPV31, 33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59, and 68. 10 HPV vaccines have been developed as a means of preventing cervical cancer and its precancerous lesions and have been effective in preventing and controlling HPV infection in some developed countries.…”

“…The higher HPV prevalence in young women might be related to more frequent sexual intercourse and inadequate awareness of safety. 38,39 Moreover, they were likely more sensitive to HPV infections after the beginning of sexual behavior, as a result of immature immune protection; however, majority of infections are temporary. 40 When women reach menopause, fluctuations in hormones cause a series of physiological and psychological changes, and immune dysfunction.…”

“…Genital warts are commonly associated with HPV6 and HPV11. However, studies conducted in patients with clinical lesions have shown the possibility of additional infection with many other types of HPV [4][5][6][7]. Therapeutic approaches used in the treatment of genital warts can be divided into surgical ones such as cryotherapy, surgical excision, curettage, electrocoagulation or ablative laser treatment, and pharmacological methods, which include local immune modulators such as 5% imiquimod cream or antimitotic agents such as the drug podophyllotoxin [1,8,9].…”
