Popis: Abstract Background High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) are responsible for cervical cancer (CC) which represents the second most prevalent gynecological cancer among Tunisian women. Preventive strategies against CC are based on prophylactic vaccines that have not yet been implemented into the national vaccination program of Tunisia. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the HPV genotypes distribution in cervical neoplasia in Tunisian women in order to predict the impact of using current HPV vaccines on cancer prevention in Tunisia. Methods A total of 200 formalin-fixed paraffin embedded biopsies were collected in our study. DNA was extracted using Qiagen Mini prep kit. DNA quality was controlled by Beta Globin PCR. Only positive samples for Beta Globin test were used. HPV detection was performed by a nested PCR using PYGMY and GP5+/6+ primers. Genotyping was performed by Reverse Line hybridization using 31 probes. Results The mean age of participants was 38.97 years and 75% were over 30 years. Cervical neoplasia distribution according to age showed that CINII/CINIII was observed among women over 30 years old. All samples were positive for Beta Globin PCR. Overall HPV prevalence in cervical lesions was 83% (166/200). HPV was present in 65% of CINI, 82% of CINII/CINIII and 85% of CC. HR-HPV was statistically significantly associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (p
