Women's Health Issues, 09/11/09
Seth P et al. – The overall prevalence of high–risk HPV was 38.9%. Among women 18 to 24 years old, it was 42.4%; it was 31% among women 25 to 29 years old. Age–stratified logistic regression analyses indicated that women between the ages of 18 and 29 and 18 and 24 who had multiple male sexual partners did not use a condom during their last casual sexual encounter and tested positive for chlamydia were significantly more likely to test positive for high–risk HPV. Women 18 to 24 years old who reported having a casual or risky sexual partner were significantly more likely to test positive for high–risk HPV. Programs should aim to educate, decrease risky sexual practices, and increase screening and treatment for STIs among women with high–risk HPV infections. HPV vaccination recommendations for young adult African–American women warrant special consideration.
