Increased proportion of “other hrHPV” genotypes other than 16 and 18/45 among women attending ART clinic in Northern Uganda
Women on ART at Gulu RRH, Gulu district, had an elevated prevalence of hrHPV especially those HPV genotypes categorized as "Other hrHPV". Unemployment was associated with increased odds of hrHPV among the study participants. This calls for extended HPV genotyping during screening and customization of HPV vaccination to cover all HPV genotypes.
