Prevalence and genotypic distribution of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) among ever-married women in coastal regions of Bangladesh
The study concludes that among ever-married women in the coastal districts of Bangladesh, there is a low prevalence of high-risk HPV. The predominant high-risk HPV genotypes identified were HPV 16, followed by HPV 66 and 68. These findings hold significant implications for policy makers, providing guidance for targeted screening strategies and vaccination programs.
