This study can be used as epidemiologic data about incidence and risk factor of low risk HPV infection in Makassar.
Objective : To investigate low risk HPV genotype through HPV DNA examination and to determine the correlation between risk factors and incidence of HPV infection in Commercial Sex Workers (CSWs) in Makassar.
Method : Cross sectional study was used and conducted in August 2019. The study population was productive CSWs with a total of 80 samples.
Result : HPV genotype examination showed low risk HPV types were dominated by types 43 and 44. Coitarche was related to the incidence of HPV infection in Makassar (p=0.002).
Conclusion : Coitarche before 15 years old is a predisposing factor for HPV infection and the highest low risk HPV genotype is type 43 and 44 in CSWs in Makassar.
Acknowledgement : Total sample was small and the sample grouping was not carried out, so bivariate and multivariate analyzes were not performed.
