Cervical human papillomavirus prevalence according to socioeconomic and demographic characteristics in a large Danish screening population
CONCLUSIONS: We found slightly higher hrHPV prevalences in women with basic education, low income and unemployment. The differences largely disappeared when taking into account marital status as a potential proxy for sexual behaviour. Our findings support a need for targeted information on safe sexual practices and promoting socioeconomic equality in HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening participation.PMID:37078420 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231168297
