Female Commercial Sex Workers

Female commercial sex workers are females that have multiple sexual partners and have high risk due to exposure to blood, semen, and vaginal discharge contaminated with microorganisms causing sexually transmitted disease such as infection caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV). This behavior creates a high susceptibility for commercial sex workers in obtaining HPV, which is the leading cause of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in females in Indonesia, which is why screening, especially for females with a high risk such as commercial sex workers, must be done. The purpose of this experiment was to compare the detection methods of HPV using Hybrid capture-II (HC-II) in order to find out high risks HPV types (type 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39,45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, and 68) by Pap smear done in commercial sex workers in Campurejo Kediri Public Health Center. This study was a descriptive observational experiment with a cross-sectional method. The samples of this experiment were 47 female commercial sex workers, whose detection of HPV using HC-II method was done at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of the Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya, where 32 samples showed positive results (68.1%) and were infected with high-risk HPV and 15 negative results (31.9%), from the Pap smear three samples (6.4%) showed dysplasia (Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia/CIN 1) and 44 samples (93.6%) showed normal smears with inflammation or infection in the cervix. Statistically showed a significant difference between the results of HC-II and Papsmear (p=0.000).

In developing countries, cervical cancer is the most common cause of cancer related to mortality in women. But the epidemiology of human papillomavirus (HPV) in different areas of Bangladesh is largely unknown both in risk groups and in the general population. The objective of the present study was to determine the risk factors associated with having HPV and the prevalence of high-risk HPV types among women with highrisk behaviour and to assess its potential impact on preventive strategies as the sex workers are at increased risk for sexually transmitted infections (STI), HPV and hence cervical cancer. Cervical swab from 293 sex workers in Dhaka City between August and September 2003 and between February 2005 and May 2006 were screened for HPV DNA using an HPV short fragment (E6) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based assay. HPV positive samples were genotyped with nested multiplex polymerase chain reaction (NMPCR) for the highrisk types. The overall HPV prevalence in sex workers was 75.8%, whereas for the high risk type it was 49.8%. Prevalence of single genotype and multiple types of HPV was 33.1 and 16.7% respectively. The most prevalent high-risk HPV types, in order of prevalence rate, were HPV16, HPV18, HPV58, HPV45, HPV31 and HPV33. Both HPV 16 and HPV 18 were present in 21% of the cases. Targeting HPV 16 and 18 with prophylactic vaccines could possibly have an important impact on the incidence of invasive cervical carcinoma in this group of women. Primary prevention and cervical cancer screening programmes should be optimized more and run yearly among the general population. It is proposed to screen sex workers when they enter prostitution regardless of their age.
