This report adds to the knowledge about the infection pattern for high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) subtypes in rural areas in southern China. The prevalence of HPV-16, 18, and the other 12 hrHPV subtypes were 0.71%, 0.34%, and 4.50%, respectively, among rural women in Guangzhou. The prevalence of HPV-16 and the other 12 hrHPV subtypes increased with age, but there was no evident age trend for HPV-18 prevalence.
What is already known about this topic? Little is known about the infection pattern for high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) subtypes in rural areas in southern China. What is added by this report? The prevalence of HPV-16, 18, and the other 12 hrHPV subtypes were 0.71%, 0.34%, and 4.50%, respectively, among rural women in Guangzhou. The prevalence of HPV-16 and the other 12 hrHPV subtypes increased with age, but there was no evident age trend for HPV-18 prevalence. What are the implications for public health practice? Epidemiological characteristics of hrHPV prevalence in rural Guangzhou should be considered to identify highrisk populations of hrHPV infection and determine follow-up strategies.
