Discussion

Prospective cross-sectional study highlights HPV prevalence and genotyping variances by age and region.

The prevalence of high-risk HPV was 10.70%, with HPV16 showing a significant association with CIN2+ cases.
HPV16 was found in 43.98% of CIN2+ cases, significantly higher than other genotypes like HPV18 and HPV52.
Self-collected vaginal samples gave insights into the U-shaped age-specific prevalence curve for HPV infections.
Combining HPV16/18/33 improved sensitivity for detecting CIN2+ to 66.67%, suggesting effective triage potential.

Li et al. (2025) studied this question.
