Cross-sectional study finds HPV prevalence in cervical lesions, suggesting targeted screening and vaccination may reduce disease burden.

To assess the distribution of HPV genotypes in women with positive cervical cancer screenings and confirmed high-risk lesions.
Cross-sectional study with women aged 25–65 undergoing routine cervical cancer screening.
HPV testing, colposcopic evaluation, and guided biopsy were performed on screen-positive women.
Excluded cases included women with follow-up genital malignancies and those who were hysterectomized.
2.2% of screened women tested positive via cytology or visual methods; 84.7% used liquid-based cytology.
HPV was detected in 56.8% of analyzed cases; 25% had multiple strains.
HPV 16 was the most prevalent genotype, especially in biopsy-proven high-risk lesions.

Manisha et al. (2025) studied this question.
