ABSTRACT
Human papilloma virus (HPV) infections are the most common sexually transmitted infections(STDs) in the world. This study was to document the prevalence. of Human papilloma virus infection in Federal university Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Urine samples were collected from ninety four participants and were screened for HPV (lgM) antibody using the HPV ELISA. Out of 94 samples analysed, 2 (2.1 %) was positive for Human papilloma virus IgM, and higher prevalence were recorded in females ( 100%) compared to males. The age group prevalence was as follows 15 - 19 years (50.0%), 20 - 24 years (50%), 25 years and above (0%). It was observed that participants that have no permanent sex partner were 76.9% of the total number of participants positive for Human papilloma virus lgM, one sex partner were 19 .2%, two partners were 0.0% and 3 .9% for those with more partner. The result from this study reveals an association between Human papilloma virus infection and number of sex partners thus screening for HPV infection in asymptomatic patients to prevent the adverse consequences.
