The Associations Between HPV-infections Associated Risk Factors and Cervical Cancer Associated Risk Factors Using Chi-square Method

Human Papillomaviruses (HPV) is one of the most common Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) among females and males in our society; causing persistent genital HPV-infections that can further develop into cervical cancer in females. The main kind of HPV-genotypes causing cervical cancer (which is categorized as human carcinogens) are the HPV-genotype 16 and 18. However, our society does not have relevant information about these HPV-genotypes. Hence, to mitigate and prevent the spread of HPV-infections and cervical cancer mortality rate in our society, more energy should be accelerated into awareness creation on HPV and cervical cancer globally. This study focuses on the risk factors causing HPV-infections and cervical cancer disease; and how associated each risk factor is with the other. The purpose of this research is to study the risk factors of HPV-infections and cervical cancer risk factors, and further reveal the associations between the associated risk factors of both diseases using chi-square method. Statistical results would help readers and researchers to understand the risk factors of HPV and cervical cancer, and they can develop restrains in practicing high-risk sexual behaviors and aim to practice safe sexual intercourse.
