Abstract
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted disease worldwide. More than 100 types of HPV have been described, and more than 40 of these types infect the genital area. Genital HPV types are categorized according to their association with cervical cancer and precursor lesions, and are grouped according to high-risk and low-risk HPV types. HPV infection is also associated with anogenital cancer such as cancer of the vulva, vagina, penis and anus as well as head and neck cancer (oropharynx and larynx). Currently, the estimated and adjusted HPV prevalence among women without cervical alterations worldwide is 7.2% and 11.7% respectively.
