SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR AND THE DEGREE OF AWARENESS REGARDING THE HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS INFECTION IN PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH DYSPLASA OR CERVICAL CANCER

he Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is an infection related to several disciplines and whose transmission, infection and therapeutic mechanisms are incompletely understood. We conducted a study based on a questionnaire filled in by 130 patients diagnosed with dysplasia or cervical cancer. We aimed at discovering their knowledge about infection, sexual behaviour,and their education level. Results show a considerable lack of knowledge regarding the HPV infection transmission, and a significant lack of sexual education. In conclusion, more efficient informing is highly needed, together with a well-organized interdisciplinary collaboration to fight against and treat the HPV infection, which can be achieved by drawing up a national program/ strategy to prevent and treat the HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) infection.
