ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes and their relationship with different grades of cytological lesions in female students of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the National University of Chimborazo. Material and Methods:
The research had a quantitative and descriptive approach, with a comparative analysis of HPV genotypes and cytological lesions in students of the Faculty of Health Sciences. It is an experimental and field study, cross-sectional and retrospective, conducted from November 2023 to March 2024. Thirty students were selected by quota sampling, analyzing conventional cytology and data using SPSS 26. The results showed that 75.8% of the samples had Bethesda Negative results, whereas 24.2% had some degree of cytological lesion (ASC-US 13.7%, L-SIL 8.1%, H-SIL 1.6%, and ASC-H 0.8%). Genotyping showed the high prevalence of HPV, with HPV 18 and 33 being the most common high-risk genotypes. The most common low-risk indicators were HPV 43 and 42.Conclusions:
The study confirmed the high prevalence of HPV among female university students and established a significant correlation between high-risk genotypes and the presence of more severe cytological lesions. These findings underscore the need for interventions aimed at prevention and early treatment of HPV, especially in high-risk populations.
