SUMMARY:

There are about 40 types of human papillomavirus (HPV) with tropism for the anogenital tract that can cause precursor lesions of neoplasms in various tissues, including those of the cervix. The Brazilian Ministry of Health (MS), through the National Immunizations Program (PNI), started vaccination against HPV in girls in 2014, extending it to boys in 2017. In addition, in March 2021, vaccination against HPV for immunosuppressed women aged up to 45 years was expanded, due to the importance of protecting even more women living with HIV/AIDS (MVHA) and more recently, in 2022, also for the boys with the same age group as girls. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge about Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and adherence to HPV vaccination of women living with HIV/AIDS (MVHA) aged up to 45 years and parenteral (parents/guardians) of girls and boys aged 9 to 14 years in the Lower Amazon, Amazonia, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional, analytical research, with ethical approval under number 5,176,666 of December 18, 2021 and CAAE 53082221.9.0000.0171, carried out through a specific semi-structured questionnaire for both groups, from January 2022 to March 2023. A total of 389 subjects were interviewed, of which 146 are women living with HIV/AIDS aged up to 45 years and 243 are parents/guardians of girls and boys aged 9 to 14 years. As for the MVHA public, 91.8% declared to undergo their HIV treatment regularly and 50% answered that they did not know that immunosuppression is one of the main risk factors for HPV infection. As for vaccination, only 13.0% had been vaccinated. Contributed to adherence to vaccination: the specialized care service having carried out health education on HPV (p = 0.04) and the MVHA having a high level of knowledge related to HPV (p = 0.03). Of the 243 parents/guardians of girls and boys between 9 and 14 years old, the majority were female (90.5%); self-declared brown (81.5%); completed high school/technical education (41.6%) and reported being 'housekeeper' (41.2%). Regarding the level of knowledge of parents/guardians about HPV infection, development of uterine cancer and vaccination, 90.5% said they had heard about the topic,but 49.5% did not know about the possibility of contracting HPV cause of cancer in youth, in addition to which 90.5% claimed not to know the main sign of clinical manifestation of HPV infection. With regard to specific vaccination, 47.7% reported not having received any guidance about it and regarding the 136 girls and boys vaccinated, 74.2% were female, corroborating the literature in which they are still more vaccinated. It was also evident that the higher the level of knowledge, the greater the tendency of individuals to carry out immunization. Therefore, through this study, it was possible to verify the importance and need for qualified health education related to the HPV virus and specific vaccination that can encourage the immunization of these publics by showing them the benefits of using immunobiologicals. As people do not receive adequate guidance and encouragement from multidisciplinary teams, they end up not vaccinating.
