COBERTURA VACINAL DE HPV EM PESSOAS VIVENDO COM HIV/AIDS

Abstract

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the agent involved in most infections of the population's genital tract. It has a causal relationship with cervical, oropharyngeal and anogenital cancer. The types of HPV most commonly found in genital or oral lesions are the HPV 16 and 18, carcinogenic, for which there is a vaccine for prevention. The HPV infections are more prevalent and persistent in people with HIVs, which can increase the chance of a possible HPV-related neoplasm. Although there is a vaccine, HPV vaccine coverage in the general population is low. This work aimed to estimate the HPV vaccination coverage among people living with HIV/Aids in the municipalities circumscribed to the Regional Health Superintendence of Varginha. It was a quantitative, transversal and descriptive research. The sample consisted of the HIV/Aids cases reported in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). The Information System of the National Immunization Program (SIPNI) provided the vaccine. The databases were listed to verify the HPV vaccination coverage, reaching 28.08%. The stratified population with the highest vaccination coverage was male, homosexual or those who had nine or more years of education. The results of this survey are relevant to the development of actions strive for increasing vaccine coverage for this audience.
