Prevalencia del virus del papiloma humano

Abstract

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) represents one of the most common sexually transmitted infectious agents worldwide. The global prevalence of HPV has motivated intense research and efforts aimed at its prevention and control, highlighting the implementation of vaccination programs and screening strategies. Despite these efforts, HPV remains a significant public health concern, especially in regions with limited access to preventive health services and effective treatments. Objectives: This literature review aims to assess the prevalence of HPV using current research and analysis methods. Specific objectives are to investigate variations in HPV prevalence related to sociodemographic factors, to examine HPV detection and prevention strategies, including diagnostic and vaccination methods, and to contrast HPV prevalence rates and management strategies between different regions and worldwide. Methodology: An exhaustive methodology will be implemented based on a literature review. It will be guided by pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria, examining current, reliable, and relevant scientific sources. Expected Results: The ultimate purpose of this research is to provide a comprehensive overview to improve the understanding of the prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), promoting the adoption of best practices in identifying, managing, and preventing this infection.
