Factors influencing premarital risky sexual behavior likelihood and human papilloma virus knowledge among young women: A cross‐sectional study

Higher education, higher income levels, regular annual gynecological examinations, and access to reliable information, particularly from healthcare providers, were associated with higher HPV knowledge. Sexually inactive women demonstrated a lower likelihood of engaging in premarital risky sexual behaviors. These findings highlight the importance of educational interventions that promote both HPV awareness and the reduction of young women's likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behaviors.
