## Abstract Human papillomaviruses (HPV) constitute one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections and are the etiological agents for invasive cervical cancer, the predominant cancer among women in Botswana. However, the prevalence of HPV genotypes in Botswana has yet to be reported. On

## Abstract This study was designed to investigate the distribution of human papilomavirus (HPV) genotypes among a group of patients with highβgrade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) or worse cytology. Consequently, the genotypeβspecific HPV infection in a group of HSIL and invasive cervical c
BACKGROUND. Some cervical/vaginal Papanicolaou (Pap) smears previously diagnosed as normal in women with a high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) are found to contain abnormal cells on retrospective review. This study characterized and quantitated such cells in 100 Pap smears. ## METHODS
## Abstract The association between total and integrated HPVβ33 DNA loads and highβgrade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) of the uterine cervix was investigated. Of 5,347 women recruited in 4 studies, 89 (64 without SIL, 7 lowβgrade SIL (LSIL), 15 HSIL, 3 unknown grade) were infected by HPVβ
## Abstract Previous studies among women worldwide have demonstrated that infection with specific types of human papillomaviruses (HPV) is central to the pathogenesis of cervical neoplasia. There is little data, however, concerning the prevalence of specific HPV types and the association of each ty
