Syndemic Synergy of HPV, HIV, and HSV-2 for Oncogenic HPV Replication in Female Sex Workers
14 november 2025
Abstract Background: Female sex workers (FSWs) in sub-Saharan Africa bear a disproportionate burden of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, high-risk HPV (HR-HPV), and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). This study evaluated possible association between HR-HPV, HIV, and HSV-2 among FSWs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 432 FSWs (mean age, 28.1 years) recruited via respondent-driven sampling. Genital self-sampling using the V-Veil UP2™ device was performed, followed by HPV genotyping and quantification by multiplex PCR, and HSV-2 DNA detection by PCR.
