“…The results obtained with the ELISA test that detected the high prevalence rate (64.4%) of the presence of specific IgG to HPV established the association of HPV as a common infection in HIV positive individuals in this part of the world which are mainly the low-risk types. The result is in agreement with the study carried out by Ngwu and Ezeifeka (2015) in which a similar rate of HPV was detected in their study. The seroprevalence of HPV according to age using ELISA test shows that individuals between the age group of 51-60 years 41(77.4%) and 31-40 years 31(62%) years have a higher prevalence rate.…”

“…Also, it is common knowledge that apart from the sexual route, there are many other means of transmitting HIV such as by shearing of sharps, transfusion of improperly screened blood and blood products etc. This study agrees with a similar study done at Ibadan, Nigeria which also noted significant difference in prevalence of HPV among HIV positive and HIV negative individuals (Ngwu and Ezeifeka, 2015); and also with the study among West African immigrants resident in Southern Italy where the prevalence was noted to be more among HIV positive individuals (Maria et al, 2007).…”

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is now considered a sexually transmitted disease with particular types being highly oncogenic in nature. High-risk HPV virus infection is a cause of nearly all cases of cervical cancer amongst women. This study determined the seroprevalence of HPV type-16 and type-18 among HIV positive. Blood samples were processed using ELISA test kit and PCR technique. ELISA detected HPV antibodies in 1036(4.4%) of the samples out of which 14(13.6%) and 19(18.4%) were positive for HPV type-18 and type 18 using PCR. People in the age group 51-60 years had an HPV prevalence of 41(77.41%) while those with secondary education had a prevalence of 51(81.0%). Those who did not state the number of sexual partners they had was 92(76.7%). High levels of HPV antibodies were also found among civil servants (n = 52, 50.5%), traders (n = 29, 76.3%) and widows (n = 49, 72.1%). HPV infection was highest among individuals between 41-50 years with HPV type-16 being 9(34.6%) while HPV type-18 was 11(42.3%). HPV infection (type-16) was also recorded in rural dwellers (n = 11, 14.7%) and traders (n = 7, 24.1%). However, type-18 HPV infection among rural dwellers and traders was 22.7% (n = 17) and 37.9% n = 11) respectively. HPV type-16 (n = 11, 12%) and HPV type-18 (n = 16, 17.4%) was also recorded for those that did not state the number of sexual partners they had. Our results show the presence of HPV type-16 and type18 infection among the HIV-1 positive individuals. The results show that HPV is a co-infection in HIV-1 positive individuals. We conclude that some of the major risk factors associated with HPV infection among HIV-1 positive individuals are age and occupational status. There is need to include HPV screening as one of the vital tests during HIV-1 screening since early detection of HPV helps in reducing female mortality due to cervical cancer.

Background: It has been established that hrHPV (High Risk Human Papilloma Virus) infection is necessary for cervical cancer. There are geographical and temporal determinants that affect the risk factors and ultimately the incidence and distribution of cervical cancer. Knowledge of socio demographic characteristics of those infected with High Risk Human Papilloma Virus is indispensable in planning and making policy decisions in the prevention of cervical cancer as well as in research on the subject matter. Materials and methods: This was a secondary analysis of a cross sectional population based study of women who had HPV DNA typing following community outreaches for women in Imo state-Nigeria between February and June 2023. A structured questionnaire was administered to the women by an interviewer and their responses noted. Speculum examinations was done for the purposes of collecting dry swab specimen for hr HPV DNA typing. Data analyses was done with SPSS version 26 IBM and socio-demographic variables were analyzed for any association with the HPV results using the χ2 test for categorical variables. Results Prevalence of high risk HPV infection was 43.6%. The significant characteristics such as occupation (P = 0.015, χ2 = 19.060, d.f = 8), ethnicity (P = 0.035) and the place of residence (P = 0.038, χ2 = 4.321, d.f = 1) showed significant association with the HPV infection. Associated reproductive factors of hrHPV infection in this study included coitarche (P = 0.040, χ2 = 8.336), number of pregnancies in the past (P = 0.008, χ2 = 13.80), number of living children (P = 0.003, χ2 = 16.02) and number of sexual partners (P = 0.012, χ2 = 12.88). Others include: frequency of genital tract infections (P = 0.019, χ2 = 11.80) and type of genital tract infection had (P = 0.001, χ2 = 21.88). Behavioral characteristics associated with HPV infection included use of habit forming drugs (P = 0.001, χ2 = 13.79) and use of tobacco (P = 0.017, χ2 = 8.117). Conclusion Prevalence of hrHPV is high in this study and knowledge of socio-demographic determinants will be very useful in primary prevention of cervical cancer using lifestyle changes. Trial registration Ethical approval was obtained from the Federal Medical Centre institutional review board ref FMC/OW/HREC/VOL.II/053.
