dc.description.abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been estimated to cause 270 000 deaths worldwide annually from cervical cancer and approximately 80% of these occur in resource-poor countries.1 In South Africa, cervical cancer is the second most common malignancy among women, with the highest rate among black women aged 66 - 69 years.2 With the development of prophylactic HPV vaccines there are prospects of significant reduction in morbidity and mortality due to HPV infection and its complications. en_US
