Abstract

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is agent of the most common sexually transmitted diseases that can infect both females and males. In most cases HPV is asymptomatic and transient, but it may persist giving a variety of mucosal manifestations, genital and not, such as warts and cancers and playing a role in infertility. In low-income countries, despite the high incidence, to date, do not exist effective prevention strategies, neither acceptable diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In this paper we suggest an operational research approach in order to assess HPV burden and taylor the best solution for HPV infection in low-resources settings.
