Abstract

The present investigation aimed at identifying how much human papillomavirus knowledge female adolescents who attended to Sub Centro de Salud Yaruquies from May to December 2014 had. It is a descriptive investigation in which the sociodemographic characteristic, knowledge level and practice information in relation to HPV was gathered by means of surveys applied to 40 female adolescents. The results were as follows: 80% of the studied population are 16-19 years old, most of them are single, 70% go to high school and live in urban areas. Most of the studied women do not know about HPV, its risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis methods, treatment and preventing methods. From the practice, HPV vaccines have not been given to all studied women and the papanicolaou test has not been done to them. It is concluded that it is necessary to pose an educational program to encourage women to be aware about human papillomavirus to prevent it.
