Resumo

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in several countries, being more prevalent in women younger than 25 years of age. The prevalence of HPV genotypes in women with and without cervical abnormalities may vary according to the population or region studied. HPV 16 is the most commonly type, both in women with cytological abnormalities and women with normal cytological outcomes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between HPV infection and the detection of cytological abnormalities in young female university students. Two hundred female university students aged 17 – 25 years from Goiânia and other cities were included. Cervical specimens were screened for cytological abnormalities by conventional cytology and tested for 37 HPV genotypes by PGMY09/11 PCR, followed by reverse hybridization in a strip with type-specific probes. HPV infection was detected in 47% (94/200) of cases. Infections with high-risk HPV types were more prevalent (77.7%; 73/94) than low-risk HPV types (22.3%; 21/94). HPV prevalence was 70.6% (12/17) among students with abnormal cytology and 45.1% (80/179) in students whit normal cervical cytology. Both in cases of normal and abnormal cytology, HPV 16 was the most common type. Analysis showed there was statistical significantly association between infection with any HPV type and the detection of cytological abnormalities (OR = 3.0; 95% CI 1.0–8.8). Therefore, there was no significantly association between positivity for high-risk HPV types and an abnormal cytological result (OR = 2.1; 95% IC 0.8–5.8). These data suggest that, in the population study, the risk of cervical abnormalities is higher in HPV positive cases.
