Among the total 50 women with abnormal cervical cytology, 54% were in the age group ranging between 41-50 years with the mean age of the patients was observed as 44.14 ± 7.502 (years), 50% of patients had P2L2 Parity. About 66% were more than 18 years at marriage with the mean age of the patients was observed as 18.34 ± 1.624 (years), (86%) had lower socio economic status, (96%) had no multiple sexual partners, (98%) had no partners with multiple sexual partners, (86%) had no history of STI. (92%) had no use of OCP, (66%) had no diabetic mellitus, (66%) had no immune suppressive agents, (60%) had complaints, (100%) had no HPV vaccination status, (88%) had no history of cervical cancer screening by Pap smear, (98%) had no history of colposcopy screening and (100%) had no history of testing of HPV. About (58%) had LSIL of Bethesda classification. Thus, demographic and behavioral characteristics related to Human Papilloma Virus infection in women with abnormal cervical cytology and supply an insight for the development of Human Papilloma Virus vaccines. CONCLUSION: • Cervical cytology is an essential tool for early detection of premalignant and malignant lesions of cervix. • Invasive cervical cancer is appraised as a preventable disease due to its long pre-invasive state.Therefore, screening for premalignant cervical lesions represents an opportunity to prevent women progressing cervical carcinoma. • HPV primary screening or cotesting with pap smear testing is necessary. • Cotesting with HPV can extend the screening interval from 3 years (with cytology alone) to 5 years. • Cotesting reduces colposcopic referral. • Importance of HPV vaccination in primary prevention of cervical cancer.
