Knowledge and Risks About HPV and Its Relationship with the Cervical Cancer in Women Between 20 and 59 Years of Age
Abstract
Sexually transmitted diseases have long been a recurring point in medical research and have provided a wide field of study whose mission is to determine their origin, development and possible mechanisms to combat them with the advancement of drugs, treatments and campaigns. This research presents a literature review that aims to know the degree of information about the human papillomavirus (HPV) that women have, as well as the critical risk factors that cause it and its relationship with cervical cancer. To do this, a systematic search was carried out for scientific articles that addressed the aforementioned topic in various electronic databases between the years 2001 and 2015. The review allowed us to identify 200 articles, of which only 64 were selected. The three main topics related to HPV were: the HPV-cervical cancer relationship, the degree of ignorance that exists about HPV, and the critical factors for its spread. These articles demonstrate that the critical risk factors identified for acquiring the virus were multiparity, early onset of sexual life, and multiple sexual partners. The results of the systematic analysis show that there is a high percentage of women who are unaware of sexually transmitted diseases, one of them being HPV.
