The cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide and has been associated with infection by human papillomavirus (HPV) whose diagnosis of suspicion is done through the Pap test. In general, some factors are involved in this relationship, such as early onset of sexual activity, number of sexual partners, promiscuity, however, these factors are not well known in special groups of women, such as the riverside. This study aimed to understand the magnitude of the prevalence of human papillomavirus - HPV and associated risk factors among women living on the river Tocantins, in the municipality of Empress - MA. Participants 107 women enrolled in Basic Health Unit Riverside where they were subjected to a smear test by the Papanicolaou technique. Sociodemographic and epidemiological data related to HPV infection were obtained through the standard form of the Ministry of Health PPCCU Women Study participants averaged 36 years of age, and 88.8% non-white women, most with elementary school, and living with income in the range of 1 to 3 minimum wages (57.9%). Among the risk factors there was a mean age of 16.6 years at first intercourse, an average of 3.1 sexual partners in history, parity of 3 children, high smoking prevalence 24.2%, contraceptive use by 52, 3% of women and the frequent use of condoms by 62.6% of women. Conducting annual preventive examination of cervical cancer of 43.9%. However, there was no association of any of the risk factors studied with HPV infection. The study also revealed that women's knowledge about HPV was having incipient awareness that there was need for further clarification on prevention, health risks and treatment. We conclude that the activities of health education about HPV developed in the Public Health Services of Empress of Maranhão facing special groups, particularly those socially disadvantaged, are still insufficient to make an impact in reducing morbidity by cancer lap, and requires studies on strategies to approach these actions within the Programme for Prevention of Cervical Cancer.

Aging is a real phenomenon that brings individual and social changes. Among these current modifications is the permanence of the elderly population in the field of sexual activity. Once this event was particularly the young, the elderly today and are sexually active still increasingly exposed to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including infection with the human papillomavirus -HPV, not to adopt safe habits such as condom use. The STD rates in the elderly are of concern when associated with increasing number of cervical cancer in this population. The study aimed to evaluate clinically and epidemiologically HPV in older women to health facilities in Belém / PA. It is a cross-sectional, analytical and quantitative study. Information was collected through clinical and epidemiological questionnaire containing variables on first sexual intercourse, sexual partners, alcohol consumption and smoking habits, etc. Cells of the uterine cervix for performing Pap smear, DNA extraction and detection of HPV DNA were collected. The HPV detection was performed by PCR and subtyping of the real-time PCR. The collections are given after approval of the Center for Tropical Medicine / UFPA Research Ethics Committee under the number 401.991 and analyzed by means of the construction of the database and the Chi-square and Fisher exact tests applied level of significance accepted of α ≤ 0.05. For data analysis, counted with 159 samples of older, averaged 67.98 years of age, widows and with incomplete primary education most. Registered a 6.28% prevalence of HPV infection in these elderly surveyed, there was a significant relationship between infection with multiple partners (p≤0,006) and the habit of smoking in the life (p≤0,03) . Another important fact is older in sexual activity as a higher prevalence of HPV (14.28%) than those without activity (2.72%). Added the event of an elderly infected with viruses having a subtype of high oncogenic risk (HPV16), in addition to all older received cytology within the normal range. It is concluded that despite the prevalence is decreasing in this present age, the elderly are exposed to risk factors that may contribute to increased rates of cervical cancer, highlighting the importance of this research and the constant screening in these women.

The cervical cancer is a problem of global public health. Despite the easy tracking and have high cure rates when detected early, it is still responsible for the death of approximately 230,000 women, of which 80% occurred in developing countries. Therefore, the objective of this research was to conduct a study of the prevalence of genital infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) and associated risk factors in women living in the city of Bragança, in the state of Pará. It was a cross-sectional observational clinical study and analytical, held in Bragança Regional Hospital Antonio Maria Zaccaria and in health units that municipality, through data collection was conducted with a clinical epidemiological form and collection of biological samples of cervical cells, and then the detection of HPV molecular biology technique known as "nested PCR (polymerase chain reaction). The prevalence of HPV was 37.5% in women from Bragança city, having identified subtypes: 11, 16, 18, 31, 35, 52 and 58, the most prevalent were 16 and 35 and three cases coinfection of subtypes. Infected women were predominantly married, were between 18 and 25, had high levels of education, non-smokers, but were alcoholic, had first sexual intercourse after 15 years, more than 5 partners in life, one or more sexual partners in the last year, and at least one new partner, did not make regular use of contraceptives, they had up to two pregnancies, childbirth, at least one abortion and were taking the first examination of PCCU. A high prevalence of HPV in these women was found but no risk factors was associated with statistically. However, one can trace a profile of the infected women to support health actions and minimize the transmission of this virus through educational activities, mainly focused on the proper use of condoms, in addition to increasing nastiness for cervical cancer in especially the awareness of the preventive test.
