Abstract

Infection by Human Papilloma Virus is transmitted by sexual contact, which affects more women than men, in the study area. In the area of gynecological consultation, it was detected that there is a large number of patients with human papillomavirus, being worrying that there are prevention programs. Therefore, our objective is to determine the associated factors and clinical manifestations of human papillomavirus infection. The methodology used was descriptive and qualitative, for the data collection the direct survey is applied, through questionnaires with dichotomous and multiple questions. The universe consisted of 76 users, of which 34 patients were considered to have presented the clinical manifestations of the virus, as a result it was evidenced that the predominant factor was the initiation of sexual intercourse at an early age comprised between 15 to 19 years represented in a 47 % of the population under study and according to the comparison with other studies in relation to ours it was found that the factor of the initiation of sexual relations has a similar percentage. Concluding that the three factors that influenced the appearance of the Human Papillomavirus were the early onset of sexual intercourse, followed by multiple partners and poor postcoital hygiene, this shows that the lack of knowledge on this subject is a trigger so there is the infestation of this virus.
