HPV infection prevalence was moderate, with high-risk genotypes detected in both sample types. The history of pregnancy was the only independent factor associated with cervicovaginal HPV infection. HPV detection in urine showed limited diagnostic performance, highlighting the need to optimize urine screening strategies.
