Abstract

BACKGROUND: AnoGenital warts (AGWs) are epithelial tumors which develop as a result of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. We aimed to assess the sociodemographic, sexual and other possible risk-factors, and awareness of the HPV infection among Turkish people with AGW in the Bagcilar district of Istanbul. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 273 patients (183 men, 90 women) with AGW between October 2014 – March 2015. The patients’ sociodemographics were recorded along with their possible risk-factors and clinical findings. The patients’ answers to questions regarding HPV/AGW were checked for awareness. Data were analyzed by Chi-square test using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 15. 0. The results were evaluated with P < 0. 05 considered significant. RESULTS: The major parameters detected were 26– 39 age-range (52. 6%), self-employed (54. 6%), primary school graduate (44, 7%), low/middle income (91. 2%), married (59. 3%), heterosexual (98. 9%), sexually active (93. 8%), sex in previous 3 months (87, 6%), multi-partners (53. 5%), partners without AGW (60. 8%), mixed location (32. 2%), concomitant verruca on hands (26%), 3– 6 month duration (38. 8%), non-recurrent lesion (98. 2%), tinea cruris [TC](25. 3%) and smoking (54. 2%). However, self-employed (70. 5%), middle-income (47%), polygyny (71. 6%), pubic-location (43. 2%), long-duration (46. 4%), concomitant TC (31. 7%) diabetes mellitus (9. 8%), and verruca on hands (33. 3%) were mostly encountered in males, while housewife (57. 7%), low-income (60%), monoandry (67. 8%), perianal-location (48. 9%), short-duration (58. 9%), smoking (64. 4%), concomitant candidiasis (15. 6%) and depression (31. 1%) were mostly found in females. Awareness of HPV hearing, HPV-AGW and HPV-cancer relationships, transmission-routes, risk-factors (each at 5. 5%), and prevention methods (2. 2%) was very low. CONCLUSIONS: AGWs are seen in sexually-active, less-educated, married heterosexuals in Bagcilar. Self-employed, middle-income, polygyny, pubic-location, long-duration, concomitant TC and diabetes mellitus, and verruca on hands are mostly seen in males, while housewife, low-income, monoandry, perianal-location, short-duration, smoking, candidiasis and depression are more common in females. Awareness is very low.
