2473 women were chosen. The total infection rate of HPV was 9.1% . The positive rate of HPV-16 infection was 6.9% among the
High-Risk HPV indicating it was the most common infection. Other High-Risk HPV infection rates were ranked from high to low:
HPV-59,HPV-56,HPV-18,HPV-33, HPV-58,HPV-51,HPV-31,HPV-45,HPV-52,HPV-35,HPV-39,HPV-68. HPV-11 was the most common
infection among the Low-Risk HPV types. Other Low-Risk HPV infection rates were ranked from high to low: HPV-42, HPV-43,
HPV-6, HPV-53, HPV-66, HPV-73. HPV-44, -83, -MM4 were not detected. The multiple infection rate was 34.2%. Conclusion: HPV-16
was the most common types in the study population. The next most common types of HPV were HPV59, 56, 18,33. Xinjiang Uighur
