Background: Cervical cancer is 4th most common cancer in women in the world and the most common form of cancer in women in developing countries. Population based cervical cancer screening and treatment of intraepitheial neoplasia in early stage can reduce morbidity and mortality associated with cervical cancer. To determine the prevalence of cervical intra epithelial neoplasia (CIN) among sexually active and married women in Rajshahi Division of Bangladesh. Place and Duration: This population based cross sectional study was carried out in 4 selected Upazilla from 4 different districts of Rajshahi Division from 1st December 2014 to 31st May 2015. Study on 1050 sexually active women between 25 to 55 years of age who fulfilled the inclusion criteria enrolled in the study after taking the consent. Result: Among 1050 enrolled women 90 (8.5%) were VIA positive and 91 were colposcopically abnormal and among them 33 were CIN positive & 58 had chronic cervictis with or without squamorus metaplasia. Mean age of CIN positive women was 36.75 years, 92.2% were housewife & 7.8% were service holder and in 64.6% women education level was up to XII class. In fifty five percent of their husband was day labouer from poor socioeconomic condition. Conclusion: VIA and Colopscopy can differentiate a normal cervix from a precancerous cervix with reasonable accuracy. Till now a good number of studies had been carried out in different countries of world and it is now well established that sensitivity of the test is very good. From the present study we can conclude that it will give a very good information about the prevalence of CIN in our country and by proper management of the CIN cases the incidence of carcinoma cervix can be reduced.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of cervical intra epithelial neoplasia (CIN) among sexually active married women in Rajshahi division of Bangladesh. Study Design: It is a prospective cross sectional type descriptive study. Place and Duration: This study is population based & carried out in 4 selected Upazilla from 4 different districts of Rajshahi Division. Total 1050 patient were enrolled in the study. Study period was 6 months from 1st December 2014 to 31st May 2015. Subject and Method: All sexually active woman between age group 25 to 55 years in selected Upazilla. In UHC of preselected Upazilla who fulfilled the inclusion criteria enrolled in the study after taking the consent. Frequency & risk factors for CIN were analyzed after entering in predesigned proforma. Result: During study period of 6 months among 1050 enrolled patients 90 patient were VIA positive and 91 patients were colposcopically abnormal and among these 33 patients were CIN positive & 58 patients had chronic cervicitis with or without squamous metaplasia. Mean age of CIN positive were 36.75 years, 92.2% patient were housewife & 7.8% patient were service holder and in 64.6% patients education level up to XII class, in 55.5% patients husband was day labour from poor socioeconomic condition. Conclusion: VIA and Colposcopy can differentiate a normal cervix from a precancerous cervix with reasonable accuracy. Till now, a good number of studies had been carried out in different countries of world & it is now well established that sensitivity of the test is very good. From the present study we can conclude that it will give very good information about the prevalence of CIN in our country and by follow up study this might help us in reducing the incidence of carcinoma cervix.

A rural population of east Senegal has been under demographic surveillance for more than 30 years and a high rate of infertility has been reported. The aim of the study is to describe HIV and treponemal infection epidemiology and association with outcome of pregnancy in a population of rural Senegal. A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 952 randomly-selected adults of a rural community of Senegal. No participant was found to be infected with HIV, 11% had evidence of past syphilis and 5% of active syphilis. Active syphilis was associated among men with age, long-term mobility and having partners in an urban area in the last 12 months and among women with being divorced or widowed. No association was found between past or active syphilis and abortion or stillbirth but women aged 40 and more with past or active syphilis were significantly more likely to have had no history of gestation than women with no evidence of syphilis infection. In conclusion our results call for more research to understand the epidemiology of treponemal infection and to elucidate types of Treponema pallidum involved.

Objective: To identify factors associated with prevalent HIV in a national HIV survey in Kenya. Methods: The Kenya AIDS Indicator Survey was a nationally representative population-based sero-survey that examined demographic and behavioral factors and serologic testing for HIV, HSV-2 and syphilis in adults aged 15-64 years. We analyzed questionnaire and blood testing data to identify significant correlates of HIV infection among sexually active adults. Results: Of 10,957 eligible women and 8,883 men, we interviewed 10,239 (93%) women and 7,731 (87%) men. We collected blood specimens from 9,049 women and 6,804 men of which 6,447 women and 5,112 men were sexually active during the 12 months prior to the survey. HIV prevalence among sexually active adults was 7.4%. Factors independently associated with HIV among women were region (Nyanza vs Nairobi: adjusted OR [AOR] 1.6, 95%CI 1.1-2.3), number of lifetime sex partners (6-9 vs 0-1 partners: AOR 3.0, 95%CI 1.6-5.9), HSV-2 (AOR 6.5, 95%CI 4.9-8.8), marital status (widowed vs never married: AOR 2.7, 95%CI 1.5-4.8) and consistent condom use with last sex partner (AOR 2.3, 95%CI 1.6-3.4). Among men, correlates of HIV infection were 30-to-39-year-old age group (AOR 5.2, 95%CI 2.6-10.5), number of lifetime sex partners (10+ vs 0-1 partners, AOR 3.5, 95%CI 1.4-9.0), HSV-2 (AOR 4.7, 95%CI 3.2-6.8), syphilis (AOR 2.4, 95%CI 1.4-4.0), consistent condom use with last sex partner (AOR 2.1, 95% CI 1.5-3.1) and lack of circumcision (AOR 4.0, 95%CI 2.8 - 5.5). Conclusion: Kenya’s heterogeneous epidemic will require regional and gender-specific prevention approaches.
