“…In Turkey not many studies are carried out in this regard. In a study performed in Izmir HPV prevalence in FSWs was found as 20.1%, while in another study carried out in Turkey it was reported as 13% 22,23 . In our study, 56.3% and 53.4% of FSWs reported having heard of HPV and HPV vaccination, respectively.…”

AbstractÖz Purpose: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women and the seventh overall, with an estimated 528,000 new cases worldwide in 2012.The highest prevalence of HPV has been described in female sex workers (FSWs). The aim of this study is determine the level of knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of FSWs about cervical cancer. Material and Method: This is a descriptive study carried out on FSWs in a brothel located in the province of Adana, Turkey. A questionnaire consisting of 21 questions regarding the awareness of FSWs about cervical cancer was used as the data collection tool. The questionnaires were applied to 103 FSWs during their routine examinations in Adana Skin and Venereal Diseases Dispensary by the researchers with face to face interviews. Results: Mean age of the participants was 43.8±8.6. 57.3% of FSWs knew smear is the screening method for cervical cancer, 89.3% had previously undergone smear test, 41.8% specified it should be done after the age of 18, 35.9% remarked it should be performed annually. In FSWs those who know more than one sexual partner increases the risk of cervical cancer, performing smear test was significantly higher in the 18-49 age group than the 49 or older group. Conclusion: Active screenings and national cervical cancer prevention programs should primarily be administered to these women. Raising the level of knowledge, effective vaccine utilization in the young age group of FSWs can reduce the incidence of HPV infection and cervical cancer.Amaç: Serviks kanseri kadınlarda 2012 yılında dünya çapında tahmini olarak 528.000 yeni vaka ile en yaygın görülen dördüncü, genel olarak yedinci kanserdir. Cinsel temas ile seks işçilerinin HPV geçişinde katkıda bulunması nedeniyle bu populasyonda serviks kanseri prevalansı yüksektir. Bu çalışmanın amacı seks işçilerinin serviks kanseri hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri tutum ve davranışlarının belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma Türkiye'de, Adana Genelevlerinde çalışan seks işçilerine yapılan tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Seks işçilerinin serviks kanseri hakkında farkındalığını belirlemek için 21 sorudan oluşan anket veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Anketler Deri ve Zührevi Hastalıklar Dispanserinde rutin muayene esnasında 103 seks işçisine araştırmacılar tarafından yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaşları ortalama 43.8±8.6 idi. Seks işçilerinin, % 57.3'ü serviks kanseri için yapılan tarama testini biliyordu, % 89.3'ü daha önce smear yaptırmıştı. % 41.8'i smearin 18 yaşından sonra yapılması gerektiğini belirtirken, %35.9'u da smearin yılda bir sıklıkla yapılması gerektiğini belirtmiştir. Birden fazla partnerin serviks kanseri riskini arttırdığını bilen 18-49 yaş arası seks işçilerinin smear yaptırma durumları 49 yaş üstü seks işçilerine göre anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu. Sonuç: Serviks kanserine yönelik, aktif tarama ve ulusal servikal kanser önleme programları, öncelikle bu kadınlar için uygulanmalıdır. Seks işçilerinin bu konuda bilgi düzeylerinin yükseltilmesi ve gen...

“…[6,7] The second peak has been associated with factors that may be due to HPV types, host propensity, and previous screening programs. [6,8] Alternatively, some literature studies have indicated that the prevalence of a second peak related to age is decreasing. [1,7,8,18] In our study, HPV prevalence was higher in age the groups of those younger than 30 and older than 55 years of age.…”

Objective: Cervical cytology samples were analyzed to determine the prevalence of human papilloma virus infection (HPV) and the most frequently observed types. Methods used to assess the presence of HPV were also evaluated.Methods: A total of 837 female patients who presented at the hospital between June 2016 and March 2017 were retrospectively included in the study. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis was used to detect the presence and identify the type of HPV, and a liquid-based cytology technique was also used to evaluate cervical cytology in concurrently obtained samples taken during a gynecological examination. Results:Of 837 cervical cytology samples, squamous cell atypia (SCA) was seen in 208 (24.9%) samples, and was not present in the remaining 629 (75.1%). Analysis of the samples with SCA revealed the presence of SCA of undetermined significance in 142 (17.0%), lowgrade squamous intraepithelial lesion in 53 (6.3%), and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion in 13 (1.6%) samples. HPV-positivity was detected in 344 of the 837 patients (41.1%). The most frequently seen types were HPV 16, 18, 31, and 51. HPV prevalence was greatest in women younger than 30 years of age and those over 50. HPV 16 and multiple strains were most often seen in women under 30. HPV 16 was the most frequently seen single HPV strain, followed by HPV types 51, 31, and 18, respectively. HPV 16 was also most common among samples with multiple strains, followed by types 31, 51, and 18, respectively. HPV-positivity was detected in 132 (63.5%) patients with SCA. Of the 629 who had an SCA-negative result, HPV positivity was determined in 212 (33.7%) cases. Conclusion:The most frequently detected strain of HPV in this study was type 16. HPV prevalence demonstrated a bimodal age distribution. HPV was correlated with SCA; however, HPV-positivity was also observed using RT-PCR in cases without SCA. This indicates the importance of the combination of RT-PCR and cytological examination in the determination of HPV types and prevalence, and in the treatment and follow-up of HPV-positive patients.
