The human papilomavírus (HPV) is the cause of the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world and is recognized as the main causative agent of cervical cancer, but little is known about the prevalence of this virus in isolated communities in the Amazon. We aimed in this study to identify among women in riverside communities of several municipalities in the state of Pará - Brazil, the general and specific prevalence of HPV infection and HPV types 16 and 18, building an epidemiological profile of women positive for the virus and these types. Between February and December 2008, cervical samples riverside women were collected on active serach for the Pap smear testing. In these samples, molecular analysis of HPV were performed by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by real-time PCR to diagnose types 16 and 18. Of the 353 samples tested, 58 (16.4%) were positive for HPV , of these 8 (2,3%) were identified positive for type 16 and 5 (1,4 %) were positive for type 18 with one case of infection by both types investigated . Women under 16 years had 34.6 % prevalence had rate and women between 52 and 66 years rate of 29.8 % (p=0.003), women who reported having only one fixed sexual partner had lower prevalence of viral infection (11,8%) (p<0,001). There was a relative increase in viral presence in accordance with the severity cytological shown (p = 0.026). There was no statistical association between viral types 16 and 18 with the variables investigated. The presence of HPV and its most associated with cervical cancer types highlights the importance of specific actions aimed at the prevention, transmission and screening of lesions related to this virus in the river communities of the target municipalities.

Purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the overall and type-specific prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among females living in riverside communities in the state of Pará, in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon. These communities are inhabited by low-income people, and are accessible only by small boats. Cervical cytology and risk factors for HPV infection were also assessed. Methods: cervical samples from 353 women of selected communities were collected both for Papanicolau (Pap) test and HPV detection. Conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR were used to assess the overall and type-specific prevalence of HPV-16 and HPV-18, the main oncogenic types worldwide. Epidemiological questionnaires were used for the assessment of the risk factors for HPV infection. Results: the mean age of the participants was 37 years (standard deviation [SD] ± 13.7). Most were married or with a fixed sexual partner (79%), and had a low educational level (80%) and family monthly income (< U$ 250; 53%). Overall, HPV prevalence was 16.4% (n = 58), with 8 cases of HPV-16 (2.3%) and 5 of HPV-18 (1.4%). Almost 70% of the women surveyed had never undergone the Pap test. Abnormal cytology results were found in 27.5% (n = 97) of the samples, with higher rates of HPV infection according to the severity of the lesions (p = 0.026). Conclusions: the infections by HPV-16 and HPV-18 were not predominant in our study, despite the high prevalence of overall HPV infection. Nevertheless, the oncogenic potential of these types and the low coverage of the Pap test among women from riverside communities demonstrate a potential risk for the development of cervical lesions and their progression to cervical cancer, since the access to these communities is difficult and, in most cases, these women do not have access to primary care and public health services.
