“…They had practically the same prevalence index as that found in Nigerian women (7); slightly higher than that observed in women in Recife, northeast of Brazil (9,16); double that found in Chile, Argentina, and Colombia (7,10); and five times higher than the mean prevalence of women in the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain (7). This high prevalence of HPV infection in asymptomatic women could be due to the high proportion of individuals who started sexual activity before the age of 18, when they would have presented increased biologic vulnerability to this virus (11,24). Besides, most infections were caused by high-risk HPV, having a greater capacity to develop persistent infection, which may remain asymptomatic for an indeterminate time.…”

“…para NIC, tal como em estudos de coorte já realizados 11 . Entre as jovens, há reconhecida vulnerabilidade biológica às infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, de modo geral 11,12 . A ectopia cervical, também freqüente nesta fase evolutiva, induz à metaplasia, como mecanismo natural de reparação, favorecendo a transmissão do HPV e de outros microrganismos 11 .…”

“…A mudança de padrões de comportamento nesse grupo, com diminuição da idade de início da vida sexual e aumento no número de parceiros sexuais, associa-se a maior probabilidade de infecção pelo HPV 13,14 , contribuindo para aumentar o risco de desenvolvimento de lesões pré-neoplásicas e invasivas da cérvice uterina. Há ainda evidências que as adolescentes e as mulheres jovens são mais vulneráveis à infecção pelo HPV por razões biológicas 15 .…”
