title: [Infection by human papilloma virus amongst female inmates in a social re-adaptation centre in South-West Mexico].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The aim of this work is describe the epidemiology of HVP amongst female inmates.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 82 women were studied in a cross sectional study. Epidemiological data were collected through a direct interview. Samples of cervical cells were taken. HPV and genotypes were identified by molecular test.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Global HPV prevalence was 20.7%. Fifteen different genotypes were identified 60% low risk HPV, 26.7% high risk HPV and 13.3% were not classified in any of the two groups. Types 6/11 were the most common. 23.5% (04/17) of HPV positives samples had multiple infections, 3 with 2 genotypes and one with 3. Association between infection with HPV and smoking was found, p= 0.0258, OR 3.79 IC 95% (1.01-15.58).
