OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of infection with non-vaccinable high risk genotypes of @entity1082 ). DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. LOCATION: Seven randomly selected health centres in Cantabria (Northern Spain). @entity1 : All @entity1 with an evaluable vaginal smear (n=3,359) between 2010 and 2011. MAIN MEASURES: The variables collected were cytological diagnosis, PCR results, and family planning method. The vaginal smear results were classified with the Bethesda system. The classification by Mu  oz et al. was used for typing as oncogenic risk HPV. Proportions and odds ratio (OR) were estimated with corresponding confidence intervals at 95% (95% CI). RESULTS: The prevalence of @entity1083 was 2.71% (95% CI: 2.15 to 3.27). The prevalence of high oncogenic risk HPV genotypes was 2.26%; (95% CI: 1.75 to 2.78). The most frequent genotype was 16 (28.89%). More than half of the @entity1 were positive for one of the non-vaccinable high risk genotypes: 51 (18.89%) and 58 (13.33%) and 68 (12.22%) or 31 (11.11%). At least two non-vaccinable high-risk genotypes co-existed in 23.33% of @entity1 . Younger @entity1 ( <=30 years) had twice the risk of any @entity1083 : OR 2.01 (95% CI: 1.02 to 3.96); and were twice as likely to use condoms compared to hormonal contraceptives, OR 2.09 (95% CI: 1.64 to 2.67). CONCLUSIONS: According to the high percentage of non-vaccinable high oncogenic risk HPV types, there should be a re-think of the prevention strategy in the population, who may have a false sense of protection.
