Adams AR, et al. - Researchers sought to determine the prevalence of human papillomaviruses (HPV) in female sex workers (FSWs) and to offer information on the potential impact of vaccine introduction. They used the snowballing technique to identify and select FSW’s ≥18 years, operating within suburbs of Greater Accra Region for this cross-sectional study. There were 100 participants (age ranging from 18 to 45 years; median 24 years) included. Cervical HPV prevalence was 26%. They identified 11 genotypes (9 high-risk) and they were in order of decreasing prevalence HPV-16 (8%), HPV-35 (5%), HPV-33/39/-68 (3%), HPV-52/51/59 (2%) and HPV-18 (1%) and 2 low-risk types, HPV-42(3%), and HPV-43 (1%). A lower chance of HPV infection was observed in correlation to oral contraceptive use. Many high-risk-HPV genotypes identified were vaccine preventable, offering support for executing a national cervical cancer prevention plan, including vaccination.
